I finally went out and bought a radio shack sound level meter. I just quickly changed the channel levels for all of my speakers and all I can say is wow. That really made a huge difference. The sensitivities of each of the speakers really did not help me predict which ones needed adjustment. I just want to make sure I did this right. I set the meter to C, slow and set it at 70 decibals. I then set it at the listening position facing the tv. I then played the test tones from my avr-2802 and set all the speakers to 75 decibals. The center channel ended up being -2, the two front channels are both +2,the left surround is +2, and the right surround is 0. I only have five speakers. The meter is exactly the same distance from both surrounds and they are both jbl s38's, but the channel levels are different. Is this ok? Did I calibrate all my speakers right or is there a better way to do it? Thanks
