I have been tweaking the settings on the AV receiver I have for my home entertainment center. So far so good. I'm almost to the point I can live with it.
However the system is middle of the road stuff. Works well for watching movies, listening to net radio or cd's. I reached a conclusion that the way my system is setup in my family room sucks. Speaker placement sucks big time.
When the weather breaks I'm going to repair the holes in the walls that were made to route cables and mount the TV to the wall. After that I will upgrade the system. I have a new in the box denon avrx8500h receiver and polk Lsim 707 speakers with a center channel lsim706c ready to be setup. I going to try and salvage some of my old sppeakes but that may not be possible.
I have to wait until the weather in my area breaks so I can get the project under way. My wife freaks out from the smell paint fumes. So I have to be able to open a few windows to clear out the paint fumes.
This time when I setup the system I will set it up the best I can. No more listening to my wife.
My wife will get upset I can live with that. The way my system now is setup my wife wanted the TV on a certain wall I get it. The TV is placed on the wall of her choice. However the speakers and just tucked in around the room without being setup for listening the way they should be.
I have a zone two system in the living room that sounds great but that is old school two channel stereo. Not the greatest for movies or gaming which the kids love to play games on.
This time around it's my call.
