Tom Adams Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Recently I was sitting on the throne (it's where I do some of my best thinking ) and got to wondering about the speaker level set up once my new HT is finished. My puzzlement is how one sets the speaker levels in a large HT where there are two or even three rows of seats since one is suppose to place the sound level meter at the listening position. Seems to me that if the "King's chair" is in the front row and speaker levels are set for that position, then the folks in the cheap seats might be hearing something different. Am I over thinking this?? J-molotky? m00n? You guys have rooms with multiple rows. What did you do? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 OT - Tom, sounds to me like the King's Chair (aka "The Throne") is nowhere near your HT room, so what's to worry? And, my guess is no one's gonna want to be in the room with you when you're sitting there anyway, so it's a moot point. (My, don't those Crane folded-horn porcelain speakers lend a nice basso profundo to the audio?) DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-malotky Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Tom I have mine set up for the "front and center" viewer. 99% of the time it is just my family watching a movie so it works best. For guests sitting in the rear, the rear speakers are a tad bit louder. I have wandered and listened in various spots but never measured on the meter how much but I would guess only a few db. Still my "cheap seats" the Heritage HT still sounds 100 times better than the local theaters. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
