Hello All,
Last week i got my new HTS Denon1611+Polk6750 as i liked it very much during the demo because of its pretty crisp & clear sound with subwoofer giving very nice punchs. It was the best for music. I got it installed but the person who came for the installation was good on doing physical connections & mounting the speakers/avr but he is not much aware of the settings in the AVR as well as he also didnt know about the Audessey auto setup. So its just like starting the things with factory default settings. I could have called another person who might be expert on this & setup the things in a best way but i want to setup it on my own with the help of all the mates here. Appreciate the feedback from all the people who owns this set or help to setup the best of it. Giving the details as below
Front Left/Right Speakers: Installed on a height of 8 Feets.
Center Speaker: 4 Feets.
Surround Speakers: 8 Feets
I know that the recommended height for all the speakers is to be at 4-6 feets as with the listening direction but the architecture of my home doesnot allows except for the center speaker.
Subwoofer is placed on the ground & is between the Front Left & the Center speaker.
I tried running the audessey setup but it gave an error of some Front RL Phase & i just skipped it. it was too hot (as had to shut the fans, ac, lights & windows as well as to ask other people to shutup untill it completes) & since i was already tired thought of doing it on next week.
Music: I played music from the bluray player (setup audio output to primary pass through) but it doesnt sounds good (played in Pro II, DTS Neo & Stereo as well as Direct but not impressive, source was 320 Kbps MP3's). Not even as 10% than what i heard during the demo. It sounds like playing music from the LCD TV speakers itself.
Movies: Movies experience is very good. I played bluray ripped mkv files & it was good.
DTH: I have Airtel HD. Hearing NGC HD & Movies now HD on Dolby Digital was very good. (Got only after connecting the digital coaxial cable). Star movies, HBO & other hollywood movies channels sounds good too.Listening to Programs from Star Plus, Sony, etc was ok in MCH Stereo only but not impressive though vocals are clear. No quality in background music. No bass. Music channels does not sounds good in Pro II, Stereo, DTS Neo but ok in MCH Stereo but not upto the mark. No bass.
Could you please share all the details such as bass settings, speaker frequencies, Speaker Volume (as of now set all to 0 db), subwoofer frequency, etc etc. Please share the parameters of the config which were set by the audessey setup at your place.
People reading this thread for influencing any of the buying decisions do not down this product as it is quite good & crisp clear but it is just matter of calibrating it properly.
