"Here are my new channel settings: Magnepan 1.6QR fronts = L+7; R+6 Tosh 65H82 Spkr Center = +3 Infinity HT10 surr = L+2; R+2"
Bingo! So you were running the fronts between 7 and 8 db too low. You should be fine now. Good luck.

SH: I have the TA-E9000ES. If I turn the volume all the way down, I get minus infinity (muted) on the display, 1 click up is - 100 dB. If I turn the volume knob all the way up, it gets to 0 dB.

My 950 feels quiet, even with the channel calibration maxed out. See my thread, "Pass-Throughs vs. Digital Decoding: Volume Difference?"

My internal test tones were 3 dB below the 75dB tones on the VE DVD.

0 dB at 75 dB is too loud, to use -10 dB. But then it's not absolutely referenced anymore. -10 is the volume setting where I calibrate my 950 using the internal test tones. Individual Speaker level calibrations to 75dB occur in my system at no higher trim level than +2 on any one channel. For the rears, settings are all in the - trim numbers. When I watch DVD movies at reference level (ave), my volume is at -6 or -5 for movies like Gladiator and at -10 to -12 for LOTR(which seems to have a pumped audio soundtrack). The only individual speaker trim level I ever have to touch is the subwoofer, which greatly depends on the DVD, movie or mode being used for playback. I cannot imagine how loud it would be if I played back any DVD at 0 or + volumes? [This message has been edited by merc (edited October 08, 2002).]

You are playing your system above reference level, Merc, which is very unusual. Most people can run their (non-Outlaw) systems 20 decibels below reference and it still feels loud. Something is fishy.

How would I test if the system really is performing as the calibration suggests it should? I mean, everything checks out at 75db, but at what should be 100db it's much quieter than expected. I don't think the volume is following the correct log scale up to full output.
