I keep reading posts about using a meter to set up speakers properly and how it will eliminate many initial sound problems.
What I can't seem to find is what am I doing with this meter? I don't want to look like Spock walking around the living room searching for the Wavelings. Is there an article (I can't seem to find one) that explains exactly what I chould be looking for?

I will be setting up a 60/500 (7.1) in my new home. My biggest problem is that I can't order them for two more weeks. My home is about 8 weeks from completion and the last thing I want to do is stare at new speaker boxes without being able to do anything about it.
