Sorry for the newbie quesiton. I don't know if the question is appropriate in the forum or not, but here goes. I am very happy with the way my HT/home audio system sounds. Many of the DVDs like Master and Commander, LOTR, and the Star Wars movies sound awesome. Surround music sounds great too, although I listen to mainly 2-channel. I'm noticing there are many movies with more bass than others. Case in point is Top Gun SE, the newest version. This DVD has unbelievable bass in DTS and DD 5.1 --- to the point that I feel I have to turn down the settings. Do you guys have similar experiences with movies, and what have you done to resolve this? As mentioned earlier, I really do like the way the sub sounds with other movies but not with this movie in particular. It's really too bad cuz I love this movie.
I hope I'm making sense. Would love to get your advice.
Tweaks I've made in the past:
1. Moved the sub away from the corner I had it in.
2. Switched the EQ from B to A (using a B&W ASW750)
3. Re-calibrated the sub using a Radio Shack SP meter.
4. Pointed the woofer diagonally towards the sweet spot.
5. Changed the sub settings in my Rotel 1098 processor. I increased level +2 DB when using DD and DTS to give it the extra punch it sometimes needs. I'm wondering if this what I have to turn down with bass heavy movies.
