Question about Calibration

[admin_exported]

Having just bought my first AV amp, the Onkyo 875. I have a question regarding the Audyssey calibration. After the setup has completed, its sets the speaker distances and calibration as follows

Left 2.84m / -3.5db - Center 2.70m / -2.5db - Right 4.05m / -4.0db

As the right speaker is the furthest away, I would assume its level would be higher then the others. Or I am missing the point somewhere. Can anyone clarify for me, thanks.

Half a dB will make 50% of b*gger all difference to the level, so I'm sure it's fine. Have a listen with the settings the 875 has made for a while, then do some manual adjustments by ear to get the balance you like most

Thanks for the reply, Andrew. Will do.

Have relocated my speakers (ie moved further away from the back wall) and recalibrated the 875. Now much happier with the sound.

Sorted, then...
