The denon had my fronts set to -10db at the 63 Hz mark. I changed them both to -5db and noticed a significant improvement.

When I have more time I will do more comparison.

At this point the audessey curve has a lack of bass for most sources/types of music (it actually sounds pretty good on some of them), and turning off the audessey curve or bypassing the mains leaves the bass a little too boomy and in your face. I think I can find something in between that suits my tastes. With the 63 Hz set at -5db it seems ok, allthough I may adjust this a bit later when I find some more time for comparison.

Thanks,
