thanks for the great replies. So with a SPL meter I CAN adjust sub levels manually if I was to buy a Pioneer Elite? That's great. That's what I needed to know, thank you
Again...
receivers don't "sound" different, unless your introducing changes to the EQ, Calibration settings, room setup. They are designed to be ruler flat from 20Hz to 20KHz from the factory.
all I can say is I strongly disagree. I would bet a lot of money on the fact that I could tell a class a/b amp from a class d amp blindfolded. Even though I don't have experience with "new" receivers, I've owned A LOT of equipment in my life and there is most definitely a difference and no one can convince me otherwise. Many receivers DO sound different, running in direct mode without EQ
Although I do appreciate the opinion either way.
