Thanks agin, this post is morphing into other subjects now so I think it's time to kill it. Posts never die here. We just keep changing subjects until eventually we make fun of Mark's square room or Bigwyres makes an appearance.

Isn't that the truth. Hey, we have a new restaurant where I used to live (Des Moines, Iowa area). It is called Zombie Burger! Zombie Burger + Drink Lab I hear that it is pretty good.

You guys wont believe this but all that other trouble I was haveing with auto cal and the center speaker ended up being blown woofers in my center now. I must be an idiot but I learned to not crank it so loud. My indestructable EP800 fooled me into thinking I could crank everything. Can't wait to get my new woofers now. Will definatly post again before adjusting my system...Thanks JohnK, you were right about my center speaker being bad.

We all live and learn. No shame in that. That is how we progress. Make sure you let us know how things sound once all is back together.

Andrew, I know you were kidding with me about the SPL meter "gadget", but I certainly have had the Radio Shack digital model(far superior in different measurement modes available)for years and use it often, but not for speaker calibration anymore. I use it to verify that the listening levels I use at various times for music are safe and that the amount of power that my receivers can supply is in fact more than needed, even on brief peaks.
An interesting task I've given it a couple times is when I've taken it to a concert with me to test for orchestral sound levels. I had to reassure some of the other patrons that it wasn't a bomb. When I explained what I was doing they probably still thought that I was a nut, but not a dangerous one.
-----------------------------------
Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Unless you had the receiver at +15 or higher on your dial for extended periods of time, clipping the speakers, I find it so hard to believe you blew all those drivers. I just have never heard of this in the time I've been a member here.
Back when I was trying to isolate my POS Emotiva amp shutting down problems, there was a time where I drove just my rear Qs8's as front channels at +15dB on the volume dial for about 5 minutes. Now the dispersion was different than a direct radiating speaker, but they didn't break a sweat and I wasn't even touching the 400+ watt rating.
I just don't see how you could blow all these drivers unless someting is hooked up wrong, or your receiver is set wrong.
