Share your EQ settings

Please share your EQ settings for the HK sound system in X3/4M. Also, if possible, add your music preference (simply because the EQ settings will be different depending on the music style). Thank you!

You should also add what the Bass & Treble settings are set to and whether or not the Fader setting is dead centre or otherwise

This is current EQ - listening to Rush, Moving Pictures 2011 Remaster, esp 'Limelight' (may Neil RIP) from USB FLAC files with ASD bypassed. Genre Rock. Really enjoying the H/K sound overall, but this system performs best with remastered albums in FLAC c/w 60s-80s original albums. Fade is set to about 3-4 clicks rearward.

If you have your phone in hand while trying to set and are open to the thread, isolate the image or download it beforehand so you can zoom in - the bars above the lines provide you an idea. I did the same thing to set my wife's F97 EQ to my settings (I didn't count the clicks in mine). This isn't an exact science, so set it roughly to the same appearance of the EQ you wish to try, and then see how it sounds and go from there.
