So rears being very active does not bother you as much now? Or bass is just better without any manipulation or management?I listened to Sabbath and I was impressed.
I finished Alice Cooper, and I like my 5.1 DVD-A better.
I am listening now to J. Geils.
Both Geils and Cooper seem heavy in the rears. I want them to be opopiste.
I went heavier in the front.
Vocals in the rear, I do not like, memories of TYA-A Space In Time DVD.
I do have my bass management on, directions say to turn bass management off. Usually doesn't matter on the mix?
Any others feel like I do?
EDIT: That was the problem. I listened to my ripped version through my JRiver set at a true 4.0 and sounds fine.
I was listening to the hard disc via BD player and sounded weird due to the bass management on.
You can by the way edit your entire post, as nobody has quoted it.
I'm a big fan of plenty of action in surrounds. Far too many quad mixes (and 5.1 for that matter) that do not use them enough. So when rears are very active and loud I never have an issue. But perfectly balanced L&R and Front to Back is ideal for me.
No center or sub for me either. I thought directions say to turn off bass management if you have full size speakers and not those satellites plus sub. Of course you do have full size cabinets.
