  • Fickle Auto Calibration/Cheap Spring Loaded Connec

    Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First the rear connections - fronts are binding connectors, rear are cheap spring loaded connectors that pop off if you do anything more than touch them daintily. Now the fickle calibration... 2.0 auto calibration went fine. Added the center a few days later (3.0) - took several (upwards of 10) attempts to get this thing calibrated - finally worked. Added the sub a few days after that and bi-amped the fronts. Amp recognizes 5.1 with bi-amp and won't calibrate. Forcing it to 3.1 won't work. Removing bi-amped rears from profile to fake receiver into 3.1 doesn't work. Lots of instances of calibration issues on web - I should have heeded those warnings.
