Hi neighbor, BTW,I live north of Cincinnati about twenty minutes from downtown. (I drive fast though) So you don't have an EQ? I have a nephew who is a sound engineer and when he's in town sometimes he stays with me.... loves to fiddle with my system. My system is Onkyo. Which is about three years old now, but I still enjoy it. The speakers are DCM,are you familiar with these? He fiddles constantly with the EQ maybe because of his profession? I always thought of him as a audiophile type though. Do true audiophiles only listen to vinyl? Thanks for your input. (I have a home theater set-up too and am amazed how important positioning of the speakers and thus because of that positioning how the sounds bounce off the wall. I knew nothing about setting this up,my brother did most of the work. The hardest part for him was hiding the massive amount of wiring in the walls.)
