Next month I’ll be purchasing a Denon AVR-3808CI and two M2’s to complete my 7.1 system. One of the dealers in town has offered to come to my house—for a fee, of course—and calibrate the receiver and speakers. I find this offer attractive in that I have a hard time doing audio calibration myself and figure that if I’ve spent several thousand dollars on Axiom speakers and a new Denon receiver, I’d like to get the most out of my set-up. What do you think? Have you ever had a professional using the best audio calibration equipment tweak your system? Is a couple hundred bucks worth it? Or should I try it myself and save my money?
