How do I get the proper level of bass with music and balance that with the proper LFE level for movies? With my receiver, Yamaha rx-v995, when I set the subwoofer using VE and SPL meter, I set it at -18. That sounds good with movies, but it's too low for music. It sounds better at -12 for CDs. If I keep the subwoofer setting at -12 it's too much bass for movies and it's calibrated wrong according to VE and SPL meter. Should I set the subwoofer setting high, like -12, but use the Dobly Digital and DTS LFE settings to lower the LFE for DVDS? That wouldn't effect bass for TV shows in Pro Logic though. How do you guys deal with the fine line with bass and LFE for movies and music? I'm sure there's something I'm missing. I've always kept it at -18 (correct for movies) and changed the setting to -12 when I listen to CDs. Thanks for any help.
