Hi,
OK - bear with me a sec while I ramble..
Pioneer Ax5i - Tannoy speakers.
The main fronts are arguably LARGE, the centre while a match certainly is SMALL and the rears are probably LARGE.
Now, I first ran though MCACC when I got the amp and everything ended up as large - which is how I had things on my old Sony and was happy.
However, I've come to think its time to revisit the argument, especially with this new auto-calibration toy.
So I re-ran it expecting to be able to change the speaker size and I can't. It seems to lock everything to LARGE.
I can change them afterwards, but I'd have thought it more logical to override the speaker size and then calibrate. Not change the calibration afterwards, although I can see the twisted logic here - its what the manual refers to as "Expert" settings.
Also - setting centre to SMALL and fronts to LARGE: Does the bass from the centre go to the sub, or is it re-distributed to the fronts? The manual implies the latter, but I thought it was the former.
Any discussion appreciated!!
Cheers,
Andy
