Auto-calibration


Is this necessary, given that my surround speakers need to be placed a fair distance behind the listening/viewing position due to room constraints?

And if not, how can I then easily calibrate the speakers in terms of sound volume?

I just learned that the new Classe SSP-800, which I have on order, will not have this feature, even though it is included in both the much less expensive SSP-300 and SSP-600.

"My latest receicer comes with a cal. mic.--I never opened it up. Only because I liked the default setting. I just bumped up the center a taste.--I think this calebration is like salting ones food at a rest; before you taste it."

I would think of it the other way around. Accepting the uniform settings as default is accepting a random flavoring imposed by the setup/room which is rarely ever innocuous. I would rather calibrate it correctly and, if that's too bland for you, flavor to taste.
