I thought I would consult you guys here before going loco. I don't calibrate much as I don't swap out equipment often and don't move my speakers. I'm wondering if channel levels can change for other reasons.

I've been suspecting for a few days now that my fronts were softer and finally just ran the test tones on the 950, leading to the inevitable. Yes they were, big time. After tinkering with the S&V disc and SPL meter I wound up with the following settings.

LF 2
CF-8 ***zoinks
RF 2
RS -13 ***zoinks
RB -15 ***zoinks
LB -15 ***zoinks
LS -11 ***zoinks
SW -6

The master volume setting was -15db.

Fronts are on a Rotel 991. Center and surrounds are on a Rotel 985 mkII.

***zoinks = Why the hell are my surrounds and center so loud compared to my mains? Unfortunately I lost my old settings, but I seem to remember that nothing was much more than +/- 7 or 8db.

Could something have happenend to the 991 that would cause lower output? Could something have happened to the 950 to cause such a variation in settings?

We had some power outages due to weather here last week. As I leave the amps on all the time I'm wondering if the power going on and off could have damaged something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
