Re: Preparing for REW+BFD


Using the Aux input, my max speaker volume is about 72dB. I did in fact have the sub "pink noise" calibrated to about 73-74. However this needs clarification:

I calibrate my speaker volume using the internal Onkyo test tone inside it's "Speaker Level" settings page. Every satellite speaker is set to 75dB via that page. The sub was adjusted within that page as well to 73-74dB.

Using the AUX input, I am only able to produce (at max volume) 72dB using REWs speaker pink noise with the satellite speakers. The sub may have been a little hot, but not more than 1-2dB IMO.



Perhaps one of you can explain why you want me to use 80Hz? Here are my reasons for 120Hz at the moment.

1) I have two subwoofers, which means I can get a more flat response from those frequencies produced by the subs, than I can any other individual speaker.

2) I have a Behringer ready and waiting to use with the sub channel, whereas I cannot do any post-Audyssey EQ on any other channel.

3) The subs are right at the feet of the main speakers, so localization is not a big deal IMO?

It would seem wiser to me (I'm no expert) to use the subs to produce as much of the frequency response as they are capable of since I have the ability to correct the subs.

*EDIT*

Ok, I could see where localization could be an issue if only the Right main is supposed to have a 100Hz tone, whereas sending it to the subs would produce it on both sides of the TV.
