Bear in mind that subwoofers, for example, which include any processing should be measured as being farther away than their physical distances due to the time delay needed for the audio signal to get through their circuitry. If that delay isn't compensated for, low frequencies from the sub may be significantly out of phase with the same sound coming from the main speakers. That can cause undesirable audio effects.

Ran the auto setup again and the results were a little different. It set the speaker distance from 9.1 to 9.4 and the channel levels changes by +1 db.
Sound just as good. The furniture issue,from before,seems to have been the problem. We had a huge leather ottoman that sat in the middle of the room Now it is gone.
I have learned so much from this forum and I appreciate all the help.
This hobby is addicting and alot of from.
