hard to drive speakers or the room interaction e.g. too much absorbers
btw ano pala speaker mo?
the room is open..no acoustic treatment can be put since sala setup hehe..aurum cantus f series for fronts and center and polk owm for rears..
I read and read and read again the audyssey setup guide in avs forum..read the faq again and again..This time I used a mic stand instead of the usual tripod to check if it will indeed help in the overall sq and esp for the clarity and vol of the center channel..
and guess what..it really did help!I have cycled thru my usual movie list and yes the dialog are clear now with enough volume level..didn't even touch the center channel level now..I really thought using the mic stand won't matter since I use a tripod all the time..I bought a mic stand just for calibration..found none in HMR and bought bnew from a guy in sulit lol..
I did another round of calibration this time I tried to achieve 0db channel level for subwoofer on the main listening position before going thru all the calibration of the other positions, I also tried the other suggestions on the mic placements etc etc..
now after all these years, this is the most satisfying calibration I made!
