da-drifter, your really confusing me. The surrounds are for "surround" affects in movies. You need to calibrate your speakers to the same levels and leave them there, don't mess with turning the 80's to -12dB to compensate for the Q's. I don't think your understanding. Either use Audyssey and trust the results, make sure to make speakers to a "small" setting after running setup. Or, use and SPL meter and run the test tones in the receiver manually, setting everything to about 75dB's.

Are you cranking up music in 7-channel stereo mode or what with the Q's. You keep mentioning getting them up to the same levels, for what?

Drifter, despite previous discussions on this point, you still appear to have an unrealistic outlook on how loud surrounds should be. As Randy also just pointed out, you should rely on the auto-calibration done by Audyssey or others(or even a carefully done manual calibration)to have set the relative loudness between the mains and surrounds where it should be. No "tweaking" of this is necessary, and your present setting for your M80s is too low and unbalances the calibration. The mains are supposed to be prominent most of the time(this isn't "overpowering" the surrounds)and this is the result when the calibration is correct.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I get what your saying now, I just wasn't umderstanding how decent surround speakers sound.
