I didn't spend nearly as much time tuning mine. I also set the
"subwoofer" knob to the "10:00" position indicated on the control. The
subwoofer sits under my desk, with the speakers on a small shelf just
above my monitor.
For setting the volume, I set the Mac to it's maximum output, and set
the volume knob to a position that makes my system alert-chime come out
at an acceptable level, and leave it there. I use application-specific
volume controls (in iTunes, the DVD player, etc.) to make adjustments
from there.
Yes, I'm a Mac guy. And you've probably seen lots of my posts (I'm
reading this thread via comp.sys.mac.hardware.misc). I'm also a Linux,
Solaris, OS/2 and Windows guy, but I don't spend much time on those
newsgroups anymore. (Don't bother searching for posts, I had a
different e-mail address back then.)

Dual 1GHz PowerMac G4 (QuickSilver 2002), 1.5G RAM, OS X 10.4.11, iTunes
7.5.
You've got me beat for the music collection. I've got 9227 tracks
(about 40.5GB), with a total play-time of about 30 days. Plus six more
CDs that I haven't yet ripped. The older material was ripped at 128K
AAC. The material ripped more recently is using 128K VBR AAC.
(And it's all legal. Ripped from about 800 CDs, plus about 90 iTunes
Store purchases.)
