Thanks, I've had the speakers since 90's, they still seem to be going strong. Micro 3000 is a sweet match to them, in particular as I have a relatively small listening room.Proac's awesome! Never heard them but owners seem to love them.
About the sub, I measured its level with a test tone and its 10db lower at least. It plays it at 75db before the sweeps, then sweeps at ~50db in the calibration. I have to call them to see what the issue is. I also have the SVS3000 Micro.
Are the test tone levels incorrect for the sub? That's another possibility. Did you measure your sub levels after calibration?
The strangest part was that it set the sub's level to -3.5db, lower than all other speakers. I would have expected it to bump it up.
No, I haven't measured sub levels separately after Audyssey setup, if that's what you asked. Initially, I had to set it to -20dB from the -10dB default per the Audyssey subwoofer level test in the very beginning.
After having set the sub in said -20 level, Audyssey further set it back -1.5 dB which I then after some listening for a week or so brought back up to 0dB.
All speaker levels are relative to your room and each other, so as long as none of them reaches the +/-12dB level all should be good. Audyssey does not set levels beyond 12dB so that should be an alarm sign that somethings not right.
My current levels are FL +4, FR +5, Center 0, SL -1, SR -0.5, and SW at said 0 having initially been -1.5.
Looking at the original results of my latest run, Center was originally -1.0dB, I must have brought it up a bit to have dialog a tad more clear. Must have been watching a Nolan move
