Sorry Gizze that's not what this was about at all.

It's how to destroy the output of a high end ssp in 3 easy lessons.

My guess as to what happened is:

Ken knew he was over his head with this stuff and hired a "Pro".
Either the pro (or pros) were clueless and Ken was screwed.
Or after the pro left Ken thought he learned enough to take over and then (to put it politely) did some not so good things to the system.

Then Ken announced his break through performance on Avsforums and how ADA is supperior to 861v6 in Detail, Slam and Tight bass on a totally crippled (my opinion and some others) system.

And now Ken is coming around after he sees several folks agreeing.

Especially after Frank discovered yet another box Ken could buy.

It is true though, you do need to tweak day to day to learn the ins and outs and learn the system. But these are not tweaks. You can make some major differences with just a "Tweak".

Ken may not have done any of this, just the folks he hired.

I would be curious if the initial installer ran all channels through the QSC on the 861v4, 861v6 and ADA. Curious to know who did what when.

Too many installers is as bad as too many brand boxes.

If Ken is hooked on ADA then I would get my Advice from ADA or someone certified by ADA.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
