[QUOTE="Fonet AV Systems, post: 134779, member: 2908"] In my experience setup is the most important part of the whole process. You can make a 100 grand system sound shit and a 20 grand system sound awesome. Generally speaking once you get to 100 grand you can be very involved in room equalisation. With 20 grand systems the room equalisation is rather limited but there are various remedies to make it sound awesome. Getting the basics right and half the battle is over. I'm sure all of you know this but if this article is written for the "Complete Noob" then the following must be checked. 1) Speaker Placement 2) Room Acoustics - IE if you have tiles and concreate ceilings- put as much soft stuff to minimise most of the rooms re verb. Give your wife your credit card and say pillows, mats and pictures (wooden). Please limit this as the ladies can go mad. 3) Speaker Phasing 4) Speaker Setup - I normally as a standard setting I set the main drives to small 80Hz and the center small 100Hz and the surrounds small 120Hz. The sub only processes up to 100Hz (this is subject to taste tho) Just some basics that I stick to. [/QUOTE]
