Yes, at the calibration volume those are the appropriate corrections. But if the sensitivities are different, how do those corrections still apply perfectly?


Those corrections still apply because the sensitivites do not change, regardless of how different they are.

 Quote:
Is this totally linear correction really working no matter if it's distance or sensitivity that's calling for those corrections to be made at reference volume?


Yes, if prior to calibration your L speaker is 5dB louder than your R speaker (regardless of sensitivity or distance) then L will be 5dB louder than R at any and all volume settings. Same goes for speakers that both at the same level. Once they are corrected to the same level, they will remain on the same level at any and all volume settings.

I know! My receiver was encased in ice when I first got it.

But CV....

What if the speakers were moving at near the speed of light, trailing an infinity long length of speaker cable, thus according to Einstein and proven by the clock discrepancies in super fast flying GPS satellites around the earth, time would begin to slow down for the speakers. Then what would we hear if we were riding on the speakers?

I'm just saying.............


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

I know you get it now, CV, but I'm going to try to explain how my brain grasps it anyway. Sensitivity is a static quality of a speaker, just like its dimensions, number of drivers, ports, etc. Sensitivity is simply how loud a speaker plays a tone when supplied with 1 Watt of power, measured at 1 meter from its front baffle. A less sensitive speaker can be made to play as loud as a more sensitive speaker by supplying a little more power. This "little more power" is assigned to speakers by the channel trim levels. When X watts (at any given volume level) are sent to the more sensitive speaker, X + trim watts are sent to the less sensitive speaker.
