I bought a used htm1 center channel about 3 weeks ago from the local agents. It was supposed to be an upgrade from an LCR6 S2, however at the moment i am totally underwhelmed.
Audibly it sounds so much leaner, with almost no bass extension and the highs almost seem bright. Running the 200hz frequency test on the avia test disk there is audible as well as measurable low level drop off below 80Hz.
Just using normal programm material be it dvd or satellite , just seems lacking. The sound seems almost devoid of richness. Am i missing something here or have i created unrealistic expectations?
Im driving it with a Rotel RMB1095 and the processor is a RSP1068, the only way i can get it to sound half decent is if i set the speaker size to small in the setup menu. I have tried all the permutations in the processor setup and ... the LCR 6 blows away the HTM1 according to my ears.
Any suggestions would be most welcome, as i feel somehow something is wrong with the HTM1 as it is.
