Hey guys,
Looking for some basic advice here...
I've just picked up the 5 speakers from the KEF Reference THX set and coupled them with my existing Velodyne va10x sub (Which is the weakest link i know!)
But i'm really struggling to get good results in the room from the setup...
Firstly the the rooms dimensions are: about 5m x 5m very minimal, sofa back middle of the room, wooden floor, and a rug...
Kef 23f on stands 3inchs from wall either side of TV 0.5 meters from corners of wall.
Kef 23c central in room sits 65cm high on AV stand TV mounted on top!
Kef 34ds flat to the side walls 0.5 meters from corner of walls.
I reset the denon 3805
Set the Auto EQ to level out the room, got some strange results with the fronts being 0.5db different? and the sub being placed 26ft away apparently!
No real vocal presence in the system as of yet... which is surprising as the center is a 3 way 5 speaker center...and its not small...
Can anyone advise or maybe link me to a really good beginning to end step by step home cinema setup tutorial here on the forum? Would it be worth letting the denon set the distances and then getting my hands on a calibration disc to tweak it?
Lastly, have i positioned the surround diapole speakers correctly to the sides of the sofa as oposed to at the back of the room? due to the nature of the diapoles it sounds like most of the effects are playing everywhere BUT my ears!
Help!
