I just started the tuning - I'm going to go through and double check.

That is correct.

Yes. The sound is definitely on the harsh side. I just got the RUX-C701
installed yesterday. I listen to all types of music Cowboy Junkies->
Grateful Dead->NIN. Mostly live recordings. I was listening to
Dani California (Red Hot Chili Peppers) this morning and when they get
to the chorus it is definitely harsh. I would like to get a warmer sound.
I grew up listening to my fathers McIntosh tube equipment with Klipsch
corner horn speakers so my taste is definitely on the "bright" side.

Great suggestions. This will help give me a solid place to start.


Thanks!
Jerry

PS> I will post the curves after some adjustments.

BTW anyone looking for a test CD I found the Alan Parsons CD at all
types of places at ridiculous prices. However, I did find it on the
Alan Parsons website for a very reasonable prices - details below.
