But from 4k down to about 300 it should be good. I wonder if there are some reflections going on in the mid frequencies causing an increase in the readings, to which Audyssey then accomodates for. _________________________ Jason ----------------- TTTHHHPPPPPTTTT!

I'm not sure either. I did my Audyssey setup with 6 reference points if I remember correctly. Are the levels on other people's receivers more of a flat line or do they vary like mine? _________________________ "Real Gun Control Is Hitting What You Aim At" - can't remember

JohnK shareholder in the making Registered: 05/11/02 Posts: 10621	Bobby, that rising frequency response isn't typical of the regular Audyssey correction. Are you sure that you didn't set the correction parameter to "flat"(which emphasizes the high frequencies more)rather than the normal "Audyssey" curve? A remote possibility would be a defective microphone reading the high frequencies too low and causing them to be boosted unnecessarily. Also, as Ken suggested, don't use 5-channel stereo for normal music listening. The way to put the surrounds into action with 2-channel music material is to apply DPLII or similar ambience extraction processing. _________________________ ----------------------------------- Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Do you think that I should maybe balance out the levels and see what I get?
