Their not hiding, it's a pair of XPA-1Ls with a set of C-12 cooling units on top of them. That combined with the Yamaha 3020 and XSP-1 gen 2 For CD's and Bluray I have a Samaung 6700 hidden on top of the top C-12.
As you can see,,,,,or not see,,,,, no panel for viewing. The room sounds unresponsive at this point.lots to do, now back to the XMC,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 8)

Woh! Hold on a minute!!! Just ran Dirac for the 7 or 8 th time, but this time ,,,,instead of the sweet spot of my chair, I did the sofa,,,,,,WHATTTTTttttttttttt!!!!! Using a UMKI -1,,,,,, OK, I don't talk or type like this,,,,,,,,,,,,but what the,,,,,,!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! DANG GOO SH*t my brothers!!!! Also used the 90* narrow calibrated files. So much wider and open!! Yes, I'm super spoiled,,,,thank you Mrs. Novis!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you,,,,,,,but this is up another level. Don't tell KiethL but I started this test with digital into my XMC-1!!! Sweet I highly recommend using the sofa setting in full Dirac for a single and double sweet spot. Even for just one sweet spot,,,,,try the sofa, I think you'll find what I did!! 8) It's so much easier to dial in your sitting area with Dirac. This would have taken me at least a month to find, that's how long it took with the XSP-1/DC-1 set up. Almost identical sound, but so much easier to get there if you know what I mean. Anyone else experiencing this??? Now, on to a concert DVD Edit; garbulky, you'd love/hate ,,,, moving/not moving speakers with Dirac

Peaks & valleys in bass response are not unusual. A few feet, even, of listening position movement (either actual, or virtual via Dirac) can provide a HUGE difference in bass response. That's why even the best "room correction" systems are so twitchy.

That's why even the best "room correction" systems are so twitchy. I just finished walking and crawling around the room and the swings aren't so much as that the bass is a lot more pronounced in two channel then in surround , as in a DVD concert. Edit: The bass is accurately reproduced, crisp and fast,,,,,just too much.

Lower your level adjustment for the sub? Your talking about, pre Dirac sweeps? Honestly, I don't know. My XMC is sitting in the box All I know is people usually run their subs hot when they do their level adjustments to personal preference. In your case you may need to set your sub level a little back. Maybe I'm crazy?

I've run Dirac numerous times but only in chair sweet spot and the subs were a little lite to perfect, my most recent readings and settings were with Dirac and sweet spot sofa. I followed directions and had the subs tuned properly to take the readings ( sweeps ) gain was set at 12:00 PM,,,,he,,,he,,, and I ended up with hot subs . I've dialed them down from the remote when possible m but at times, in movies and 2 channel they're still too hot.
I may have to physically adjust the gain on the subs.
Tonight I'll try another round of Dirac sweeps and try and find out what's going on. My posts last night may have been premature.,,,,,,,I'll see,,,,,,,,

A little help please,,,,,,,
My XMC-1 is not decoding 7.1 audio, well,,,,,that's what it's telling me. Input as follows;
Expendables 2 to Oppo 103 to XMC-1 , the front of unit states, Surround, dts 5.1 , 48kHz 24 bits
Shouldn't it read 7.1?
Any help would be appreciated.
