Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners I have more bass punch WITHOUT a sub

I forgot to mention one VERY IMPORTANT thing I have discovered in the past. Again, this is how it responds on my AVR-3806, the newer models may have corrected this.

Audessey overrides some of your manual settings, and one of them is large/small. Example - If Audessey determines your fronts are "large", when in Audessey mode, they will be large, even if you set them to small. This also applies to flat and front, once Audessey has analyzed the room.

The M80s of course always come in as "large" when Audessey examines the room. My workaround was to copy the EQ curve to the manual EQ curve. When you are in the manual EQ curve, your "small" main choice will work.
