Denon 4306 - Here we go again

[dUnKle]

I swear I am going to take up knitting - its simpler

Anyway - after much deliberation I have reintroduced a pair of B&W 603s and a CC6 to the front sound stage of my HC - these replace the small kef eggs that I had there, which I have now used to give me the extra rear speakers

However yet again I am far from convinced that the Audyssey set up is giving me the best results for my system - most noticably in the bass (or lack of it) dept

Should I still be selecting all speakers as small and sending bass just to LFE ? or should I place the two 603s as large an have bass as LFE + Main ?

I'd try them set to Large, LFE+MAIN and go into the Advanced crossover settings and set the crossover to 40hz or 60hz.

Thanks mate

New could rely on you

Hi,

603s are large and CC6 is a poor centre... suggest something bigger like an LCR600.

What sub are you using?

[dUnKle]

the kef sub

[dUnKle]

well should saw was the Kef sub

Just found my Rel Quake at mums so going to put that in

any tips on using that with the B&Ws its been a long time

[russ.will]

Yes, sell them both and buy an XLS-200. Sorry.

I would suggest placing the mic around the two most used seating positions and ignore seats where people don't sit. Try one measurement in each of the two main seats, one in between and then three about a meter in front of the first three. Unless you actually sit there, keep the mic away from room boundaries where bass is much stronger. This squews the results and results in drastically reduced bass at anywhere that isn't against a wall.

Thanks for the advice but now having a mortgage to pay means no big spending (and if i do it will be on new PJ)

Cant have too much bass anyway as only live in semi - just want bit more impact

Bit more fiddling and ill get there
