[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8306654, member: 628688"] "Sounds horrible" is horribly vague. However, if they won't get offended by you bringing in advice from a forum: 1) Check to ensure all speaker wires coming in are set to the correct polarity. 2) Ensure all speakers on the output side are wired to the correct polarity. Do not switch one midrange woofer out of polarity with the other, or any other polarity tricks to try to make it sound better. MS-8 must have uniform polarity throughout the system. 3) I get the best results during calibration with all amplifier gains set at minimum. 4) MS-8 volume should be set at -30, or possibly lower, during calibration. The sweeps from the speakers should be clearly audible but not loud. The bass sweeps should be barely heard, and definitely not felt. [/QUOTE]
