What is your SVS Volume control level? My SVS 25-31PCi Volume Control = 1/2 (12 o'clock high)
As a FYI: ... here's my Yamaha RX-V1300 final REF Calibration Marks using Dolby Labs DD-EX test tones ...
Volume Control Display = -20.0
LEVEL MENU
- CENTER:... -7.0
- R SUR:....... +2.5
- REAR CT:.. +5.0 (pair wired in-series)
- L SUR:........ +2.5
- SWFR:....... -8.5*
SETUP MENU
- LFE:............ -9*
*I adjusted SWFR by ear playing my digital Jazz Music CD's (David Benoit, Dave Grusin, Diana Krall, etc.) @ above AVG level obtaining a well-balance frequency range. I have not changed the SWFR ... -8.5 level since. It's full, balanced, ... without sounding boomey or bloated. The LFE result is from my REF Calibration Mark using Dolby Labs DD-EX dedicated LFE test tone. The end result is that my Bass support is 100% A-OK when switching between my DD/DTS DVDs Digital LFE bass to my analog bass 2-channel Music CD's (DPL TV shows, VHS tapes, etc.)!!!
I have used the SVS 25-31PCi since April 2002 and after REFERENCE Calibrating my SVS 25-31PCi, ... I experienced impressive tactile sub-sonic 'feel' in the floor, couch, chairs, wall, air and pant-leg(s) (SVS trait) @ all my seating areas when the LFE encoding called for it.
Hope this helps,
Phil
EDIT: SVS 25-31PCi is REF Calibrated (LFE) @ 77 dB (AVG) using Dolby Labs DD-EX dedicated test tone, whereas all the other HT speakers are REF Calibrated @ 75 dB (RS Analog Dial = 70 dB / Weight = C / Speed = SLOW)
