High level input
I actually had the red peak lights flash on the MC when I did the test. Both meters were running with the peak hold activated. The MCs needles were almost stuck at the high end of the scale. If the meters on the MC are accurate I would have been p... 
High level input
OK. I used my RTA mic on the behringer and a Extech digital meter. Both the mic and the Extech were placed on the back of the couch approx 14 feet from the speakers. I let the dog out put on some AC/DC and cranked it just shy of peaking out the me...

Tvad, I am serious. I do know the formula for calculating db and I have a meter. I gotta run out now and check on a job. I'll be back in an 2 hours max, take a reading or two and get back to you. My room is VERY strange I'd be glad to email you a ... 
High level input
Tvad , I just wanted to clarify. I completely agree with what you are saying. I had the amp before I bought the speakers and I knew it was loads of power for the PDs. I do like the sound of the Mc and I got a great deal on it, so there it sits. I ...

The PD80s are rated at 101db/1w/1m and 4 ohms. That means you need only 1 watt to produce 101db at 1 meter (104 db at 2 watts, 107 db at 4 watts, and 110 db at 8 watts, etc...). Do you ever listen this loud?Rarely but yes. When I'm in the mood I'l...

Tvad, with all due respect the PD80s are rated from 1-600 watts per channel, I run 350. I could be wrong but it seemed wrong to run a low powered amp when each speaker houses a 1000 watt sub amp pushing 2-15s. 
what is good music?
I've actually sat here for 15 minutes wondering "what is good music" and I really have no idea.I do like chicken wings...............I'm hungry. 
Yamaha RX-V757 with Klipsch F2 speakers
Maybe you could try it out for a few days? 
Opinion Needed on Arcam AVR100 vs Denon AVR-3803
The Denon is less expensive and is 7.1, the Arcam is 6.1 People may disagree with me here but I have a 7.1 Harmon Kardon and a 6.1 Marantz, so I am running 13.1(just kiddin). I prefer the 7.1 for movies personally even though I've never heard a tr... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
When in DEQ mode, if you push the top small dial you go into a full spectrum gain mode. Tvad, is it possible you accidently raised the left gain when you were in dual mono mode? I think it would carry the imbalance on through when you switched bac... 
what is good sound ?
Jax2, regarding your first post. You freak me out, that was exactly, word for word, what I was gonna say. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Funny you say that Tvad, the first time I AEQ'd I thought it sounded like crap too. I really don't know what I did, but the last time I tried it, it sounded MUCH better. Anyway, I also ended up tweaking. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
There is a noise gain on the smaller dials. There is also a RTA mic input level in the utilities menu, mine is set to +15 volts. Be sure to place your mic as closely as possible to where your ears would be when you are in your listening seat.I can... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
You will have to choose your input path. I believe you will output analog and digital simultaneously no matter which input you choose. By the way what do you think of the DACs? 
What is the purpose of preamp jumpers?
You could also throw an EQ there.
