I had the Infinity P363 as my main driver in the basement for music and parties. I asked AI if this would be an upgrade and it said yes. In reality, it sounded almost the same. May be I need a more expensive upgrade for my current Denon receiver to something more powerful. Now I am thinking, if it would be too much to use the Infinity as my surround speaker.. because I do not want to sell it to FB marketplace anymore.
There are too many variables for AI to be any use with this.

I'm not surprised with your impression, very much a lateral move.
If there is an improvement, it's going to be incremental ime.

You didn't mention which Denon but in general, adding more power to those two speakers would be a incremental sonic benefit IF one at all ime.

You might want to look into & try A1EVO Express.
It's a game changer for Audyssey RC ime.
It's free to boot!

The problem with using the 363s as surrounds.
Often all seating positions don't have a line of sight to all the woofers.
If that's the case you're blocking the sound.

When you say "it sounded almost the same" do you mean during movie/TV usage? Or did you compare it in 2 channel music use? Just curious.
Its for music but I do run them with subwoofer. Pure 2 channels sounds too thin for my EDM/House music taste.

I drive via Denon AVR-X2400H. Yes its 95W only and given that I had the budget of P363, I settled on this receiver even though I do have tre Atmos setup and run only 7.1 and not 9.1. Would check out A1EVO Express.

Imo it's not a power issue.
The 2400 should have no problem for 2.1,even 7.1 imo.

With the very limited info.
In general, I would look at your calibration & integration.
Optimal 2.1 integration gets a little more intuitive.
Double check your speakers are set to small and subwoofer is on.
I would suggest a start with setting crossovers at 60 Hz and see what you think.
Contrary to popular belief having your speakers help with the bass frequency can be a good thing.

If it's a large open environment, speakers might not be ideal.
That said, you should still be able to make it work to be good enough ime.

Very few speakers can do EDM/House in 2.0 competently, so that makes sense---stick to 2.1 then. Am curious, what is your sub?

95watts is plenty, no worries about power---but make sure you are not using Audyssey's default post-calibration settings and have manually tweaked them to taste. Many a perfectly good setup has been sabotaged when folks don't do that...it's as foolhardy as keeping the default factory settings on a brand new Windows computer. Some folks restrict Audyssey to below Shroeder frequency for that reason, or they skip Audyssey completely.

I am entirely new to everything and ran Audssey 32xt expecting it to sound great. It set all my speakers to large and set the crossover too low on everything so nothing was going to the subwoofers. I was like wtf is wrong?

Luckily, I was able to find out the problem by using chatgpt which told me to adjust the crossover and set my speakers to small but I'm wondering what else was missed that I could improve?

I'll be trying A1 Evo Express and Evo Acustix tomorrow to see how much better I can make it sound especially since I have two different subs

Room correction isn't a magic pill, in general terms it's a guesstimate.
Generally speaking:
Change/Set all your speakers to small, change/set all crossovers to 80hz.
Bass set to LFE & popular setting is 120hz.

If your unit doesn't have SubEQ HT you should calibrate the subs prior because Audyssey will read them as one sub.

Subs set low pass all the way up, volume around 10-11 o'clock.

Since you're new just stick to Evo Express.

Have you tried NOT using Audyssey at all? A lot of folks find that aside from tuning the sub (if your sub is sitting in a room null and you can't move it elsewhere) it tends to screw up things more than actually help despite the usual breathless nerd/fanboy/salesman hype about room correction. The one thing Audessey does do right though is set distances but you can actually do that manually with a simple tape measure. Level correction you can also do using a $30 SPL meter from Amazon and the receiver's own white noise generator, it takes all of 5-10 minutes tops. Be sure to turn Dynamic EQ off, as that's one of the default Audyssey settings that often makes it sound worse not better. Half the time, the best "room correction" is simply optimizing your speaker positioning...nobody tells you that because there's zero money to be made that way, lol. You have to bear in mind that most of what is commonly presented as "conventional wisdom" are simply sales pitches that quickly ossified into audiophool dogma.

If you enjoy tinkering and don't mind the learning curve, no harm trying out A1 of course. Good luck!

I must be the oddball here cause I keep my R263s set as large. Maybe it's cause pure direct mode doesn't activate the external sub, maybe it's cause I'm lazy Smilie

I have an RSL CG23M 5.1 system right now, but I'm tempted to switch to Energy speakers. Would this be a good move for home theater? Would love to hear from current owners

That's the unique beauty of all this.

Yes, I will likely try both evo express and evo Acustix with each saved to a different preset. The svs sub has auto EQ which i used after doing the manual adjustments to the speaker size and changing the crossover. It currently sounds good to me but I don't have a lot to compare it to.

I think it'll sound much better though once I run evo express which will hopefully better adjust my two different subs.

If you're talking about their new EQ for their Revolution series subs.
You need to run it prior to running Audyssey.
