I would drop automatic calibration and look at doing it manually. I would also consider room acoustics. Take a look at this for audio setup tips. http://homecinemaguru.com/?page_id=39 Here are some room acoustics references. http://homecinemaguru.com/?p=3282 http://homecinemaguru.com/?p=780

Welcome to the forum Jeff ! x2, welcome Jeff! Hadn't talked to you in several years, but I had the firsr KURO you ever calibrated. Still has incredible PQ. Carel Thanks. I pray my 151FD keeps on trucking for years to come. It is the best flat panel I have ever seen and it is unlikely to be surpassed anytime soon.

Welcome to the forum Jeff ! Thanks!

I can see what you mean 40.00 vs 800.00. But I will say for 800.00 he offers a sound test showing were you are on reverberation kind of stuff. I don't think that the local guys go that far for a lot more money. Now only if he was coming to Nebraska, and now I just need a finished home theater. The $250.00 calibration is what most people need. I didn't think he could improve the sound that comes out of my pre-pro once the ARC is engaged. I only did video calibration. If you have a projector, you might go for the next tier of service. His tours change states in different times of the year. Just check back periodically or e-mail him and ask when he's coming your way. This is a common perception about automatic audio calibration and I find it to be universally false. It is a shame people rely so much on the the automatic audio calibration systems. They are generally lacking no matter what manufacturer you are talking about.

I would like to clarify my services that are being discussed here. It does not cost $800 to have me do a room acoustics analysis. The minimum cost for this alone would be $200 if you are near where I go. Also the cost of my gear is about $40k not $30k. I also use custom engineered tools by me that are not available anywhere else. I am very flexible on what I offer service wise. If you want to discuss this further please contact me.
