I posted this over at AV123, but I thought I'd give TCA a chance. I haven't been over here in ages, so I thought I'd swing by, look around and post a topic. I just got my rocket order in (rs850, bigfoot, rs450). On my audyessy setup, it set the crossover funky, to the point where I'm wondering why.
(I have to admit, it does sound damn good.)
What are your thoughts on the setup?

I found my calibration mic, and got a chance to run it on the new rockets.
It did something different this time: It set the xover of all 5 speakers to 40hz, set them to large, put the LFE at 80 hz, and set the sub to LFE + Main. The speakers are all between +3 and +5, but the sub is -10.
VERY odd choice IMO for the volume/crossovers. It sounds good with basic TV, but I didn't think Audyessey typically set speakers to large.
SVS's Ed Mullen beat into my head how accurately Audyessey sets up configurations. But isn't there something flawed in the FR of this setup? Wouldn't this give me a significant boost in 40-80hz, causing a noticeable drop-off at 40?
At loud volumes (-10db), there's a sweet spot where the kick drums are just plain awesome and in balance with the rest of the music. At very loud volumes (around 0 db) however, the rockets still get pretty bright, which makes me think their still breaking in, or the d-eno-n is wussing out.
