New to home theater - EQ question

[Paulis]

I just took the plunge into the HT world.

Here's what I have:

Front RF-311s

Center SC.1

Surrounds SC.5s

Sub KSW10

Receiver Sony STR-DB1070 ( Is this the ES?) $1000. retail - My cost $400.

The receiver EQ seems to have already been set by the factory and the sound is pretty good. Can anyone suggest any adjustments to enhance it? Here's my situation: 14' x 16' room. 32' Sony Wega with RF- 311's on each side tight in a corner of the room.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul - Glad to you see you made a Klipsch choice!! Since Sony has the worst web site I've seen (well, almost), I can't find your receiver to tell you if it is an ES model, but others here can tell you, I'm sure.

How recently did you make this purchase? Not to be a wet blanket, but if you can change out the SC-1 center channel for an RC-3, I think you'll be much happier with the sound across the front.

usually sony's ES and XBR models are viewed as premium, hence to eliminate all doubt, they have the designation "ES" in the model number itself, its usually like CDP-105ES or something, and for TVs its like KP-XBR100

I do like the RC-3 Center channel. I actually had the salesman demonstrate both centers for me using the same DVD. The RC-3 did sound a little better to me but my wife couldn't see spending the extra money. I do have the option of upgrading within a year and being given full credit on the SC.1.
