hey all --

the last thread got so big I figured I would start over. Anyway, I bought the analog SPL meter from radio shack today (they say they still make it, had 5 in stock). Anyway, the options for db are in increments of 10 so I calibrated my system at 80db, is that o.k? My settings ended up as follows;

fr +9
fl +9
sr +5
sl +7
cc +7
sub 00

I set my M40ti to "large" and have the HSU-VTF2 crossover at 60Hz with the volume at 10:30 on the dial. Whith all set to small my Marantz crossover was at 100Hz and I could locate the bass sound at times, it was driving me crazy.

Anyway. do those calibrations seem normal. At first I calibrated to 70db but had to listen to movies at +3 to +5 volume level. At 80db I listen at -5 or so.

Any thoughts?
