Even if your calibration was off a bit, the 500 should not give you crackles and pops. My room is 30 x 31 x 9 and my EP600 volume is setting pretty low, with the receiver setting at about -2dB. All rooms are different.

There are a couple of ways to calibrate. Get an SPL meter from Radio Shack, cycle through the "dB level" settings using the remote and put everything at around 75dB. Or, if your receiver has a built in mic setup, you can run this as well.
