Hello all..
Just got my new toy about 1 month ago..
I replaced my Anthem D2V with ARC for this... Mainly because I have rotel amps and love the sound, and always thought the Anthem lacked in something..
To my surprise, the rotel blew the anthem away at much less cost..
Sound is so much richer/warmer now, as the anthem even with ARC was very clinical sound.. Could not listen to music for too long, ...
Anyway,, the Sub issue..
On the Anthem when using the internal test tones and even a Yamaha I tried for fun, I would set all the channels to 75db with a SPL meter set to c weight and slow.
All seems perfect, very deep loud bass, and balanced..
However, on Rotel, no so...
I did the same procedure, but found the sub to be very lacking..
I was shocked... The internal test tones for sure was at the 75db, and all the speakers were set to small 80hz, and sub freq. on sub itself was turned all way up..
So, to confirm, I loaded my test blu-ray that has all the advanced audio tracks with test tones..
To my meter all channels were in line (all at 75db), but sub was way off..
Like 5-7db too Low... 8O
I then turned the sub channel up to get 75db, and WOW, much better...
Sounded more like the bass from the Anthem..
So, I emailed Rotel about this, and was wondering what you fine people have found or think of this issue..
Thanks..
