two or three movies (ideally ones you’re familiar with so you know what they should sound like) before making any tweaks to your system.<\/strong> Even the best speakers may require a short period of “breaking in.” If you start making tweaks too early or decide after 30 minutes that you’re not happy, the chances are that you’ll spend your life making changes and never settle on something you’re happy with.<\/p>\n Furthermore, taking longer before deciding to make a change will help you understand exactly what the issue is, informing the specific tweaks you need to make.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019re happy with your setup, all that\u2019s left for you to do is kick back and enjoy your home theater in all its
