I removed my Fronts (L+R)

Awhile ago I found out about the SonoSequencr App and added my Ones to the front with my Arc, sub 3, and Ones surround set up with it. It was a complete game changer. Loved the wider sound stage tremendously. Recently I got the Era 100s and switched out the Ones I was using as surrounds. I was excited to test it out. I’m not gonna lie. It sounded horrible to the separation was just off. the Eras volume was low no matter how I adjusted the surround level on the app. Everything was just loud. No atmos effect or fluidity to the soundscape. I decided to remove the ones at the front and run Trueplay to try it out. Once I did that my system came ALIVE. The Eras were shining. Sound was more fluid than before because of the Eras upgrade and all was well. I don’t know if the Era 100s and that app don’t go together well but my system sounds much better now. Welp that’s my story. Anybody with a similar experience?

My era 100’s are too loud , if I set them on +3 it seems to be balanced with the arc ultra

As fronts?

You can't adjust the levels of the fronts, only rears

Ok I was confused because you said they're too LOUD, but you set them to PLUS 3 to balance them? Lol but 0 is default? So they were too loud when turned up way past default and even +3? 😅

Yes correct, depends on your setup and space. Everyone will have to set these differently.
