I wish I had done this although I don't care for Audyssey.


I don’t care for Audyssey either. I find it does nothing to help the midrange. Kills the high end if using the “Audyssey” curve and what comes on my receiver isn’t powerful enough to help much for the really crappy room modes I have at the low end. OTOH the Audyssey installed on the SVS AS-EQ-1 does a killer job on the low end, 20Hz and below, but only for one seat.

That’s something I’ve always questioned about Audyssey is how you can apply one curve to each speaker to optimally correct for multiple seats especially when they are spread from wall-to-wall. Each seat is going to need a drastically different EQ curve and timing settings so in the end I just don’t see how it can help all that much unless used for just one seat or a small area fairly centrally located away from side walls.

But then I guess I just don’t know how to use it properly just like I didn’t know how much better an M80 center sounded to a VP150 center either. wink
