Vandersteen Quatro sub setup

Hello

I am a happy owner of a pair of Vandersteen Quatro, I love their incredible sound!!

I'm trying to follow the sub eq calibration procedure to set up properly in the room, I'm not convinced that I understood the procedure perfectly.

I kindly ask your support ..

With a Spl Meter and Vandertones files downloaded directly from RV Site,  I completed the procedure on the left speaker, adjusting the volume of my Ayre preamp for 2/3 of the 1/11 tracks to sound above 70 dB and 1/3 below. then I set the equalizer bands to 25% of the difference obtained from the spl meter above and below 70 db.

for Example:  for 76 db I selected +1,5 on the respective eq band ..
Do you think is the correct approach? I mean .. instead of compensating for the gap between the value 76 above 70 db, do I still have to increase the equalizer parameter?
I continued the procedure playing tracks from 12 to 22, then I adjusted the low frequency level of the right speaker so that 2/3 of the tracks sound at 70 decibels or more ..and I note on a notepad exactly the db obtained.
Is it about these last data that I have to set the bands of the right eq speaker? .. i Suppose always considering 25% of the difference compared to the usual 70 decibels, right?

I do not know if I could explain correctly, I apologize for my not really perfect English ..

Thank's a lot

best regards

@ stringreen: thanks for the advice, i'm using single ended connection
@ tomic601: good morning! I am of your own opinion, I am absolutely convinced that the consistency, the timbric balance and the musicality of these speakers are the maximum achievable in this price range and beyond .. your intervention has solved all my doubts, I believe there was a mistake in the translation of the manual I have. Therefore I will proceed to attenuate or raise the sound pressure by intervening on the corresponding equalization band with a value equal to 2/3 of the difference, considering the 70 dB the flat condition, as in the example you made.
Thank you so much for the time you dedicated me, I WILL ENJOY !
