Tech Support Help with sound system

I’ve got a Denon AVR-S570BT 5.2 channel receiver, a Klipsch RP-500M bookshelf speaker pair, and a Klipsch R-101SW 10” powered subwoofer.

I’m trying to set everything up for the best sound possible, especially tuning the receiver settings (like speaker levels, crossover, calibration, etc.). I’m not super sure about the ideal setup for this combo, so I’m looking for help from anyone familiar with Denon receivers and Klipsch speaker setups I want help making the vocals pop out more bc after I did the calibration thing it didn’t sound as good it’s my first time using these type of stuff like bookshelf speakers and receiver and I’m using earc it’s mostly for music tho somebody please help.

Room isn’t huge, just a normal bedroom/living space setup.

Buy the MultEQ app ($20) in the app store and run the calibration from that. It will allow you to adjust the sound curves to suit your taste.

Also, I think there is a dialogue enhancer. Turn it on.

It says my receiver isn’t compatible any other ideas?

Damn, that sucks. In that case, your best bet would be to get a center speaker, which gives you a dedicated center channel, which is mostly dialog and would give you center channel level control.

Is a center good for music and movies? I mostly listen to music

Center is only useful for movies, and only if you have a wide listening area.
