Thanks on the HT room Ryan.

After all is said and done, you feel the audio is too dead, huh?

Did you use the Room EQ Wizard to calibrate the whole room or just the subwoofer?
I woudn't say it is too dead, just doesn't seem like it's any deader... or any different really. But it wasn't really that live to begin with, probably because of the carpet and recliners.

I use REW to calibrate the subs and then I use the Audyssey MultQ in my Denon 3806 to EQ the other speakers.

I suspect there is some benefit to the panels that absorb the first and second reflections off my mains. I'm just probably not that critical enough to notice it. My ears are not that great. Example: I think I sound pretty okay when I sing (not Nashvile Star or American Idol good), but my wife says I sound terrible. lol... actually I can't even whistle a tune.

Kinda like cables... I've had the high dollar ones and now have the very inexpensive ones from Apature. If there is a difference, I sure as can't hear it. I mainly buy for quality build on cables now, instead of trying to buy for sound differences. Obviously there are others who swear by their high dollar cables. If you can tell a difference and like it then that's what you are after... no problem by me. But if I can't hear a difference, don't bother trying to sell me on it. Simply my thoughts... others will vary.
