1066 settings out of the box

[Mats]

wow, was i surprised.

after three weeks of happy listening to the 1066/1075, i had noticed that my mains and cc started sounding a bit more 'boomy', of course relatively speaking. i've got the mains set to large, every other speaker set to small - for subwoofer purposes. i understand the break-in period perhaps led to the evolution of the sound....

my inquisitiveness led me to the front panel of the 1066- the bass and treble knobs. i moved both of them to the right, and the first click over brought them to "max"!

questions: is the default setting for bass and treble (out of the factory) supposed to be set to zero, or ten as it appears- i hadn't touched those knobs since i cracked open the box.

and.... should i leave them set at ten, or drop them down to zero? if i drop them to zero, the perceived sound is a bit more nasally from the paradigm studio 80s. is having them set to large vs. small an issue?

thanks, rotel gurus!

Mine had default 0 zero for both. Maybe somebody sneakily touched them
Could also be that the unit was set that way during testing at the dealer or distributor or by Rotel themselves?

they should both be set to zero so I'm not sure why yours isn't...
