    Bjoern: JP3 dts Lower LFE Level

    Does your Denon also compensate for the -4dB volume difference between DD5.1 and dts5.1 of Titan A.E. as well? That is another soundtrack where dts was generally louder by 4dB except dts LFE was 4dB lower when compared at reference loudness levels with DD LFE for Titan A.E. (according to my...

    Bjoern: JP3 dts Lower LFE Level

    Ok, just did some more analysis. Until Master Roy gets a chance to verify this, here are my findings: [1] Using non-bassy plain dialog segments Ch7 (LFE turned way down as well), I measured DD5.1 with -4dB DialNorm, so you need to bump the volume level by 4dB so DD5.1 is level with dts5.1...

    Bjoern: JP3 dts Lower LFE Level

    That's cool. FYI, I can adjust the LFE level anywhere from -10 to +10 dB with my Pioneer. In addition, I have calibrated the DD5.1 LFE output level with AVIA and it is good at -5 dB trim in the processor and just 35% on the sub's own Amp control. Now if I need to crank it up, I have over 15dB to...

    Bjoern: JP3 dts Lower LFE Level

    If you want to measure the bass in the opening logos, setup your equipmet to route all bass to the sub. Set all your speakers as SMALL, just like Bjoern does in his tests... That is how my booskelf system is setup full time. And use the FAST setting on the sound level meter. Look for the PEAK...

    Bjoern: JP3 dts Lower LFE Level

    Just to simplify the situation, I need to remind everyone that this is NOT a comparison between JP1 and JP3 dts LFE. Only JP3 dts vs. DD5.1 LFE. I need to correct myself about JP2, after reading Bjoern's review at his website. JP2 is NOT LFE deficient. Just the original JP1 dts, and quite...

    Bjoern: JP3 dts Lower LFE Level

    Saturday night, finished watching JP3, and was pleasantly surprised overall. I listened to the dts track right off the bat. But when I was fooling around with extras tonight, I figured I'd try the DD track for the heck of it. Well, blow me down! The LFE bass was louder! I thought: Oh no! Not...

    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    Peter, I have the 608, which is the poor twin of the 21. If you set your front speaker to "small", the sub will be active with any source, including direct stereo. Most users like me have a sub/sat configuration at this price level, so it works great. Good luck. BJ
