Yeah you are right, I am a proud R501 user here, best setting is 62 - 66 percent on your master volumn and your speaker volumn set at 4... after sometime, when your speaker is burn in thouroughly, you'll feel what shinjite says...
need some time to play along with this baby...if you understand what I mean...

p/s - they still havent solve the weakness in MKII?? sigh.. what a waste...

my setting is similar to yours but higher master volumn...
btw.. what sound card are you using?
I am using a creative 5.1 d.e..... adding some tweak in the control center... adding an additional environment tweaking - disco in the living room setting... ( creative sound card user might know this....but if I confuse you, I will post up some screenie tomorrow)..

was hoping to change mine to MKII...but soon after I mod this baby by adding padding inside the subwoofer..hehehe
still struggling whether to open the subwoofer casing or not ...

yeah you are definately right..
I prefer high clarity sound with some punch in the bass...
feels like the base is punching to your chess....heheheh
