You quoted Alan, and I was responding to that, not your experience. I do not believe Alan has ever actually tested out Audyssey, but I know he often comments on caution when using any setup calibration routines. Again, my opinion is different as is many other people. Black vs White, Ford vs Chevy. That is what makes the world go around. I do not recall where I have ever said your comments are incorrect.
