[QUOTE="windshear, post: 654815, member: 619"] This doesn't make sense. You change speakers but don't change the levels to balance the speaker sensitivity to match the system. What puzzles me even more is you have a system but blindly trust that it has been setup correctly by "experts" ...... years ago. Whats even more puzzling is how a by changing main speakers the subwoofer sound has changed...... aye caramba. You say the sub volume is set to 10 o clock but what is it set to in the receiver menu, the two work hand in hand. Are these loudspeakers full range? Are they floor standing? What is their frequency response and how are they bass managed, if bass managed at all? Based on the above I get the impression your sub level may have been a bit hot hence the boomyness. Now you changed the speakers with a pair that most likely have a higher sensitivity thus bringing the balance a bit more into focus. Yet the puzzling part is you only changed the speakers, so that should have no effect on the sub level unless, you have double bass engaged or even no sub engaged and have now found out that the boomyness was from your loudspeakers. Im not faulting what you have done as it doesn't hurt to experiment, however doing something blindly without knowing what the implications of it are, is rather pointless as you are fully ignoring the Marantz which may be totally set up wrong.
