Hello all,
I feel so stupid asking these questions NOW after owning the setup for 2+ years, but I gotta ask to see how badly I screwed things up (emig5m any input from you would be very helpful since you owned the 683s before and used 'em with your 663 receiver).
1- About the impedance settings, I've never changed these settings on the 663 since I considered my speakers to be the normal 8Ω and didn't pay attention to how low they can actually get at the time I got 'em:
683 3Ω MIN
685 center 3.7Ω MIN
DM601 S3 rears 3Ω MIN
a)Did I damage anything for not changing the receiver's settings since the beginning? Everything seems fine to me, i.e I don't hear weird noises from the speakers, my VTF 3.3 handled anything below 80hz if that matters.
b) Through the 663's advanced settings I can change the min Ω to 6, that will allow the fronts to be 4Ω min and center+rears 6Ω min according to Yamaha's manual, I'm using this mode now, any reason why I shouldn't?
c) Could this be one of the reasons why my 663 went into protection mode often when I try to listen to really loud music?
2) What's the preferred mode on the 663 to listen to music and watch movies/play games in general? I've been using straight mode since the beginning because it doesn't have any additional digital processing, thought that's how the guys who created the content wanted us to listen to it.
a) Does the straight mode bypass EQ settings? Because I'm thinking about trying out the YPAO and maybe even lookup how to configure the EQ manually using my analog RS SPL.
b) If you guys prefer other modes, please mention which and for what type of content.
The reason why I'm thinking about all these stuff now is because I've moved to a different apartment recently and I have to recalibrate the entire system, so hopefully I'll get things right this time lol
Any help would be really appreciated.
