Re: SPL Readings for HT

That makes sense. Originally, what I did was to set all speakers to 0.0 dB within the individual settings for each. Set the meter up, and moved each individual setting up or down as needed until I leveled off at 74dB on the SPL meter (each speaker is within +/- .5 dBof each other). That is accept for the sub which, even with meter set on slow, bounces around between 73 - 75dB (average around 74.3). (I do have a little weaker bass response on the far left side of my viewing area so run the bass little higher).

I normally watch movies at -15 dB on my Ref 30 and I would assume, based on what you said, that if I ran the Video Essentials or Avia disks at 0.0 dB on my Ref 30 the readings on my SPL meter would probably approximate what I have already found. That is why, when I run these disks at a normal listing level the test tones seem soft. Thanks for your response. Any other info would be welcomed.
