Just curious, how do you all have your bass and treble set on your AVR's?

Chime in.

We don't need no stinkin' tone controls. :)

Never touched them in the AVR..

Someone mentioned car......I have them +2 for each on mine

A wise man on this forum once challenged everybody to take The Tone Control Challenge...

set 'em flat and forget about them for a week. Chances are, you will forget about them forever.

Flat. However, I was a treble junkie before I joined this forum.

After hooking up my first Polk's (with the fresh new Polk scent) treble and bass controls were tested and quickly went to 0. It's been so long I forgot about those words.

[zombie boy 2000]

Actually, I lied....

I crank the treble to +11 and send all power to the tweeters. Eff a midrange or bass. When cats heads explode and oceans begin to boil, I know my work here is done...

Tone controls??? :confused: .

My preamp is so cheap, it didn't even include them?!? Man, I got ripped off LOL :)

Looks like my only claim to fame will be as the Master of tone control....I am a true tone-control junkie. I've got a Parametric EQ for my main SRS, a Parametric EQ for the secondary 2.3tl's, a graphic EQ for the side surrounds, a graphic EQ for the rear surrounds, and heck, I've even got a graphic EQ for center channel....and did I mention that my pre-pro has tone controls?

At some point, I'm going to use this Sprectrum Analyzer software I have and my SPL meter and spend about a month to try and calibrate all this stuff. ..LOL.

Interesting. I'm guessing there are other "tone control" tweakers out there who want to stay in the closet because they're afraid of being called out for audio blasphemy. The unspoken rule is that it's acceptable to tweak the tone of your sub with a spectrum analyzer because of "room acoustics":rolleyes: Room acoustics will also plague your overall sound quality. Why not tweak the tone in a room that reverbs or is stone dead? In some cases it may be the only way to salvage some decent sound in a room with no degrees of freedom for acoustic treatments, speaker placement, etc.

I personally have my main system flat. However, in my vintage system I have the "Loudness" button switched on:eek: ;)

Always ran flat and now I'm using a preamp that doesn't even give me the option.

If you want to include equalizer settings, this is what I have my L/R main set to:
