I upgraded from a relatively cheap "all in one" 5.1 system to this:
Denon AVR-X3400H AV Receiver with Monitor Audio Bronze 5 AV Speakers
I was expecting a fairly significant upgrade, but to be honest i'm not happy at all. The sound is weak, thin, and dynamic in all the wrong ways.
I've turned off literally every setting the amp has at this point. All dynamic eq, volume, etc, they all make it even worse. Theres no basic error, phase is all correct, I've run audyseey for speaker calibration etc. Turning the "MultEQ® XT32" to "off" was the biggest breakthrough i had, it stopped everything sounding quite as crispy.
The actual "balance" is ok, ish, though obviously it doesn't sound right since i can't listen at "reference" volume. I'm wondering if the lack of volume is whats causing my setup to perform poorly. My room isn't perfect as no living room is, but its fine, i wasn't expecting to have these problems.
Anyone have any suggestions? Any setting within the amp just seems to make it worse.
