hi all - i still use my m22 bookshelves, vp150 center, and qs8 surrounds from way back in 2004. i had an svs 20-39pci that died a few years back and i replaced it with a junk polk psw10 in a pinch. anyways i'm back into this now that i moved and am setting it all up. i upgraded the sub to a svs pb1000 pro and the receiver to an onkyo tx-sr393.

it's been so long since i've done any of this, but my first attempt doesnt sound great. i realize everyone's room is different and all that, but i'm looking for opinions.. room is 20x16x8, carpeted. havent gone the atmos route yet but thinking about it.. i cant justify that if i can't get this current setup sounding better.

it sounds muddled to my ears. almost too much mids and not enough highs. i'm also trying to figure out what the best crossover hz would be here too.. i'm lost.
