Hey Gang,
Now that my LR4 (non-L7) system is well-burned in, I thought I'd share my EQ and Fade settings. After many long months of variable setting/parameters, I feel that my final settings have hit a nice sweet spot in the system and work very well with most music genres. AND, you can really turn it up!
Although the L7 system is inferior, the non-L7 system is ASLO excellent IMO. But I find the standard out-of-the-box settings to be very flat, and if any of you have not made any EQ or Fade adjustments at all, then you are truly missing out on a nice sounding system.
For one, the EQ needs immediate tweaks, but fade settings unfortunately push most of the power output to the front speakers, and produces very little output to the rear speakers. If you sit in the back of your LR while the music is playing, you’ll see what your rear-passengers are missing. And, if you like bass (I love bass), and not take advantage of fade, sending more power to the rear and less up front, then you'll get a little distortion up front, especially if you're really pumping the system. With my settings, you'll get fantastic bass up and mid-range up front, and dramatic, subwoofer base, as well as mid-range in the rear.
I’m attaching pics of both my EQ settings and Fade settings. Please bear in mind though, that my settings work in conjunction of each other. They complement each other, so if you only adjust one and not the other, then you will not get the sweet spot that I’ve found.
If you consider my setting, be sure to jot down your current settings, so if you don’t like mine, you can easily get back to your original settings without too much brain-power. And, do not listen to your current settings before making these suggested settings. Just turn the system on, keep the volume way down, adjust EQ and Fade accordingly, then turn the stereo off, and give your ears a five-minute break, before giving it a shot.
CDs – Best music quality (suggested listening)
Radio – Well received reception (any genre/station)
iTune – Worse quality/highly compressed (but hey, everyone loves Starbucks on the go)
Would love to hear feedback, good and bad
