I have a Harman Kardon AVR-520, I have noticed that when I do my test tones to adjust speaker levels the center speaker does not have the exact same test tone as the left and right channel. Simply, it does not sound exactly the same.
I have the Klipsch R7 series of speakers and I expected that through the RC7. However, I always thought that the difference in test tone sound was because the center was simply a different speaker all together. However, I recently purchased my center RC7 with another front speaker the RF7 which make my front 3 speakers identical. So now, my left, center and right speakers are all RF7s.
Once hooking up the new RF7 center, I thought I would hear 3 identical sounding test tones from the receiver across the three fronts, but that is not the case. I still hear a different sounding center channel.
Is this by design, are all receivers like this, or do I have a defective unit? If it's bad, then it has been bad from day 1 and I have never know it.
One thing also I would want to mention, the speaker wire for the center is NOT as long as the two fronts, and all 3 front speakers are bi-wired.
Any help to clarify this would be most helpful! :b
