Is that -36dB the master volume level, with dynamic volume on?Ok just rerun audissey and now at -36db the atmos leaf trailer is pretty loud!!! Still center at +5ish
Yes, dyn vol lightIs that -36dB the master volume level, with dynamic volume on?
As a test - turn dynamic volume off. Then see what dB level the master volume has to be on to get a similar overall level of audio (when compared to on "light"). I'd estimate your master volume will be around -10 -20dB* (vs with it set to light).Yes, dyn vol light
I quite like Dyn Vol, I know it's frowned upon by a lot of people but it works well for me! I do sometimes switch it off when it's movie time, if I remember that is!
I still need to run Audyssey for the C350, maybe tomorrow. Also, I haven't noticed a difference across the front 3 despite the L/R being Q Acoustics, maybe it's my ears or the setup, or maybe they do actually match ok
Yeah I've got the Ausyssey app, but I haven't used it yet It sounds like it's a lot better than just using Audyssey on the AVR!You got the editor app? Hope they will continue to sound similar so you will save lot of money then.

I'm still tempted to pick up a pair of Silver 300 when I have spare funds, if they're still about that is!
Maybe in new house then, they will come up as 2nd hand for sure as people will always swap gear..
Now you have perfect time to run the setup through the app rather than from receiver!
Watch and listen about 10min from 23:07 and you know what to do with the app! You might actually prefer the sound more with QAs too as you don´t use the Audussey`s target curve (full correction) and turn midrange comp. Off.
Maybe he secretly works for Monitor Audio!I'm glad your enjoying the new speakers. Gasp got me to buy the same. silver C350 + 300, 4*c265idc ceiling speakers, monolith+ DF sub, all in white.
My extension is still being built so all those new speakers are still boxed up. The annoying part will be waiting till next year to see if AVR prices are more reasonable since I can only power 2 of the 4 ceiling speakers with my Denon x2300
It’s a conspiracy! @Gasp3621 thanks for the video very interesting I turned midrange compensation off and now experimenting with bypassing audissey above 400hz seems good for the c350, great tips! I love the app, much better than the AVR audissey.Maybe he secretly works for Monitor Audio!
He does a thorough reply though, always links and lots of info
Ouch! I don't think I could wait 3 days let alone 3 months!!I've got a new floor too. Concrete takes 3 months to dry, then I can put down the actual flooring. So much waiting around.
You could download a copy of REW and configure the simulator, this will give you some guidance of,theoretically, where the best position might be.Ok so after some initial fiddling I notice that bass sounds great but it is - understandably - very right centric. Short of getting a second sub, do you recommend any other sub placement? Currently I have it on top right corner on the right of the tv - see scheme above. Thanks!
Nice, I could try that!You could download a copy of REW and configure the simulator, this will give you some guidance of,theoretically, where the best position might be.
That's the first time anyone has called me a "great advisor"!So calling all great advisors in this thread! @Gasp3621 @Jester1066 @WozzaB @StefanBFC etc!
2 questions about sound being right centric:
1) I have a good improvement by sealing the back holes of the right front and surround speakers. Is it bad not to seal the left ones? Will I get a very unbalanced sound this way? It does not seem so, but just asking
2) Bass is still very localisable anyway. What am I better off doing?
a) move the PB around - but I have limited choice - I could try left of the TV, Left of the sofa perhaps?
b) Add a second sub (considering limited placement options, in which case which one is better:
b1): get a double gem from BK to place to the left of the sofa, basically under the surround, facing front or right // alternatively placing it behind the sofa since it's slim
b2) return the BK P12 and get two SVS 1000 pro to place at either side of the TV
Any other option?
Thank you!
Thank you! Yes the right side is basically fuller and I can precisely pin the origin of the bass. The right surround is indeed 30cm closer. Audissey picked it up and ... decreased the dbs of the left one!!! I readjusted it a bit but that does not seem to be the main issue.That's the first time anyone has called me a "great advisor"!
I think I missed the bit where you said you were getting issues with right side. So the right side sounds louder than the left overall? I have this with my right rear speaker as I sit closer to it, Audyssey should have taken care of it, but it wasn't perfect, so I just dropped the level a touch in the speaker settings until it balanced out with the left side.
With the sub, have you got everything setup correctly? I had one sub initially, front left corner loaded and I could tell where it was at first, but after a bit of tweaking it disappeared into the room.
2 subs usually help, but there's no guarantee that putting them either side of the TV will sound good.
The real "great advisors" will be along shortly!

Ah I see, I thought you meant the bass issue was just the sub! Try what @Jester1066 suggested and bung them and run AudysseyThank you!

Plugs help, because at least there is no added reflection bass coming from the right wall that has no equivalent from the left.
What sort of tweaking did you do to the bass to make it disappear into the room?
I should also try to move the sub to the left of the TV, but it's huge and it'll bulge out!
If you added 1 of these:A 10m sub lead is only about £10 and you could then try it all over the place, power socket permitting of course.
