I recently recalibrated my system,this time with the avr master volume at 0.0db.the master volume's range is -60db to +16.5 db(yamaha rx-v1800)
My speakers volumes(in the avr setup menu)are...
fl -10 (range is -10 to +10)
fr -10 (range is -10 to +10)
center -8.5 (range is -10 to +10)
ls -8.5 (range is -10 to +10)
rs -7.5 (range is -10 to +10)
(back surround) -8.0 (range is -10 to +10)
sbwr -3 (range is -10 to +10)
lfe 0 (range is -20 to 0) manual states this is only used when bitstream is decoded
avr crossover =80hz
mbm gain =12 oclock position
hsu 3.3 ho gain=12:30 position
mains are calibrated to 75 hz
subs are calibrated to 80 hz
i could drop the swfr level to match mains -10 but then id have to turn up gain on subs,which from what i understand is already pretty high(12 to 12:30)
the mains are cut all the way down to -10(minimum setting) to get 75 db with master volume at 0.0 db.
does this look reasonable,is this any harder on the avr than setting the master volume down and raising speaker levels up to get to 75 db?
Sorry for the long post
Thanks
