I would like to add a recommendation here. I set my trusty Radio Schmuck meter (analog version) on boxes or something similar on the chair in my prime listening position, and get the microphone as close as I can to the position where my head would be. I then get myself off to the side of the room somewhere where I'm not in the direct line of fire of any speaker to the meter, and accoustically I should be "out of the way", but where I can easily see the meter. I then run the test tones (with the remote, of course) and adjust from there. I have found this method to be more accurate than holding the meter while sitting in the chair. I have had a meter for quite a while, and have found it to be well worth the investment. The first time I used it I discovered that previously by ear I had all of my speakers balanced within 1 dB, except the rears were 1 dB louder than what the meter liked. I assumed this was because the meter is truely omnidirectional, and our ears are not. Our ears are pointed forward. So when I balanced by ear, I had set the rear speakers 1 dB louder to compensate for that fact. I decided than since I usually listen with my ears instead of the meter, I would leave the rear speakers set 1 dB louder. I have since run some tests with some friends of mine, and have discovered that indeed most of them cannot balance speakers by ear nearly as accurately as by using a meter. Why I can I am not sure, my hearing is just unususally good in some respects, but it's still nice to have the meter for verification. I actually checked one system where when the owners set it up by ear they had the center channel 8dB too low and the surrounds 10dB too high. Needless to say, after readjusting, they were amazed.
