I did a microprocessor reset and my volume has improved. Now I listen to loud music at -15db to -10db, lots of base and very clean sound. The reset also fixed my delay in audio feedback from karaoking so that's a big plus by the wife.
Thanks all.

Now, you have to go read up the Audyssey FAQ on the AVS forum. It may take a few tries but it can help correct some (room acoustic) problems.

Yeah I am really looking forwarding to reading that article and re-running audyssey EQ on my denon 3808. I have to wait untill after Christmas though... My GF decided that the Christmas tree had to go in the spot that my subwoofer was. I will move it back to its spot and buy the $100 feature upgrade and re-run Audyssey on my vacation though.

You know David..if you keep giving in to her like that, you're gonna be in big trouble down the road. Now in my house, I *wear* the pants, I decide what's important and what's not.......hold on guys, my wife is calling me... ************ OK honey, I'll be right there....oh sure, I'll take that right out....you need that moved, I'm on it....you want *another* purse - sure, no biggie ************ As I always saying, I'm the king of my castle. You better shape up or we'll deduct some man-points from you. Christmas tree where the sub was...where are your priorities man! Actually that reminds me of a funny conversation. My wife wants to pick up a small area rug so the kids won't get cold when they play. I told her "you know I'll have to re-run the speaker calibration don't you?" To which I got the obligatory "rolling of the eyes" It's a diseases I tell ya!

In my house the Christmas tree was moved to another room to accommodate the speakers and subwoofer Anyway David, you need to wear a belt too so your pants is tighter around your waist then it won't be taken off that easily. Regarding these speakers, what crossover frequency do you set them at? Before when I ran the Audessy setup, it set my front large at 40, surround at small 100, center at small at 60 and subwoofer at 80.

I would set your mains to small and you can keep them at 40 if you like or move them up to 60hz like many of us here have them at. If you like the small setting better than the large or vice versa then run them that way. If Audyssey found some reason to set the surrounds to 100 I would wonder why as Audyssey set mine to 80. I would be inclined to say you could easily drop the surrounds to 80 and see if it sounds better or worse then go with the one that sounds the best.

Audyssey set mine as 80hz for the center and side surrounds and 100 for the rear surrounds (note, the surrounds are all QS8s...)
I run my mains on large and dialed everything else back to 80hz.
