Hi again.

My system at present consists of
1. R/L DSP5200
2. Ctr DSP5200
3. G61R
4. HD HD621
5. Media PC as source (Bluray / DVD /CD etc)

Room Size approx
The room is made up of lounge area and a second half which is exstension.
The setup is in the lounge half. Speakers are situated about 6 feet apart, 2.5 feet from rear wall. There is a fireplace between the speakers but the speakers stand about 1 foot further forward than the fire place and six inches to the right and left of the fireplace right and left wall. The room is rectangular, the wall to the left speaker is about 2 feet away, no wall to the right of the right speaker. Centre stands in front of the fire place about 6 inches further back than right and left speaker. I sit around 13 feet away from right/left speaker & the room front to back is about 18.5 feet.

I have not yet tried room correction as I guess I need a Mic or sound meter. Can anyone suggest what is best or at least worked well for them.

Can I apply any settings without using an external device (Mic/Meter)just to get a feel if things will change.

I have noticed I get a resonance / boominess from base in the room that I didnt have with the DSP5000, I guess that is due to more base extension from these 5200's. I can actually feel the base. This of course is not with everything.
Eg. I watched the slumdog millionaire and most of the film the sound was perfect, only one part where there was a very low base beat, this was causing the room to resonate and tended to sound louder than it shoud have and was damping the speach. Even when volume was turned down there was still the resonance. I am hopeing room correction can remove this. The droneing sound appeares to be up in the ceiling area. It also happens on some music tracks. I also noticed it on michael jackson History DVD. MTV award music, this sounded great before with DSP5000's, but now causes the ceiling to resonate which dampens out the singing even at low volume.

Don't you just hate to buy something described as mint condition and you find what they actually meant was polo mint (with holes).
