Re: Do You Listen In Multichannel?

Howdy Robert

I'm wondering if your rear speakers are too close, or their level is set too high or something.

I've got to say that I don't hear stuff from the rear in most of my jazz recordings nor do my guests. Often they even ask if things are two channel or MC till I explicitly A/B it for them or use the solo buttons to highlight each channel individually...

Perhaps if you listed a few jazz titles you thought were too loud in the back I could explicitly listen to them.

Did you used a meter to set your speaker levels? If your front and back speakers aren't identical a meter can be a problem. I was surprised at the difference when I used the Phonic PAA3 which shows a freq response vs. the Radio Shack level meter. Since my speakers have identical tweeters and mids, but different woofers I set the levels based on 400 Hz and higher.
