Do You Turn Up Surround Sound Speakers?

Here's a radical suggestion, why not adjust the setting and decide for yourself? Everyone's audio preferences are different so in the end it's down to what YOU prefer.

I put mine 3 clicks above the "middle" setting but I'm trying to get feedback from others on her...hence my question.

He wasn't. He was absolutely spot on.

The seating distance from the surrounds, the room layout and furnishings, whether you Trueplay-tuned the setup and, yes, personal preference are all factors. Nobody can say how you should adjust the surrounds, any more than they can tell you what overall volume level to use when you're watching TV.

After I Trueplay-tuned my Playbar and two Play:1's, I've left the TV sound at the middle and turned the music level down two clicks.

Trueplay-tuned my Playbar + Sub and two Play:1's - sounds really fantastic !

Without Trueplay-tuned I have my surrounds about two clicks higher. This may not be ideal but I like the reminder that they are there.

My surround speakers are about 3 clicks up.

exact mid-way point for me. Perfect surround for my particular seating. (rear speakers are about 3 feet above my head.)

If I scroll through the replies so far, only 1 of us has the surround at the mid-way point.
My opinion about this whole question is that "bignicknicknick" has a point.
If 80% of ur users have to tweak the settings of a device to "2 ticks higher" instead of the "standard levels", wouldn't that mean that actually "2 ticks higher" should be the standard?
I'm not saying that "2 ticks higher" is the correct standard. What I'm saying is just "try to review what most users use and make that the standard level".

That's as statistically valid as concluding that 50% of the population must have a birthday in June because one out of two people in the room happens to.

1/ Trueplay will adjust surround levels (individually) for the correct balance at the seating position
2/ Anything else is down to personal preference
