Thank you very much both of you for your help, it's greatly appreciated. Would you suggest that I leave all the channels at zero and rather than increasing levels for quieter channels, I reduce the levels of the channels that are louder to properly match all the channels? The surrounds I find I have to turn down, it's only the left and right front speakers that I have to compensate for. Also, the runs of speaker wire to the rear channels are over 30 feet, what gauge wire would you suggest for those channels? Finally, what' the trick to placing and adjusting the sub so that it perfectly blends into the mains, so that you can't tell where the sub is placed? It seems that no matter where I place it, I can tell its there. Does it matter where in what direction the sub is facing? Should it be pointed directly at the listening area?
