I wasn't sure if I should post this in Receiver's or speaker's sections. Heres whats bugging me
I have a Denon AVR-2106 in my livingroom using Fluance SX-HTB's
I have a Denon AVR-2106 in my bedroom using the SVS-SBS-01's
I have calibrated both using the setup mic the Denon's came with. However, in my livingroom I dont have to turn the volume up as much to get the same level of volume. meaning in my livingroom for a moderate loudness my receiver is set to about -28db and in my bedroom I have to crank it to -16 or above. I have suspicions as to why this would happen, I just want confirmation of my assumptions. First off I dont think anything is wrong with my equipment or the calibration's (even though the calibration is not 100% accurate, I understand this) but here goes my list of reasons why I think it may be doing this.
Keep in mind, Ive never set up reference level's in either setup

- Ported vs enclosed speakers
- Rated watts
- Room size/shape
- Component quality of the speakers
- Different components in the receiver
- Bad calibration
