Sure there is, it is the 3808 Good one! Just can’t see doing that except for Blu-ray (lossless) which I’m putting off for as long as possible.

When I first read about the upgrade, I felt kinda cheated that I has the 3806 and could not upgrade. I turned Audyssey off months ago, preferring the natural, as-recorded sound, but was curious to see if Audyssey's new implementation made that much of a difference.
After thinking about it for a while though, I'm kinda glad I can't upgrade. I've been out of the "tweaking" phase for a while now, and in the "enjoying" phase... I'm a afraid of re-opining Pandora's Box again!

Well, if upgrading your receiver is a requirement to get Dynamic EQ, I would change my advice. It's not _that_ good. Is it $100 good? Unquestionably. New receiver good? Not yet. Jason

I do not have the upgraded version of Audyssey.
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

I'm going to tweak around with Audyssey this weekend, and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same sound that I get when Audyssey is on. I find when it is on (stereo mode), it really enunciates the highs, almost sounds "bright" if you will. When I switch Audyssey on and off during playback the difference in sound is very noticeable. I know the sound is up to one's taste, but do you think it's taking away from the natural sound of my M80s?
Also, I'm having some issues with my EP500 (LFE is very localized again) so hopefully I will be able to get someone to take some pictures of its location that I can post with a description of what's going on.
Any input regarding Audyssey would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys and gals

I diabled audyssey b/c I was not happy with the initial results. I am going to try it again b/c I did some things that I shouldn't have at the time. (like place the calibration mic on a loveseat that sat really close to the left m80 but far away from the right)

I noticed this as well, but not just when Audyssey is on. It is fatiguing. I fixed this by adjusting the tone on my Onkyo - I turned the treble down -4. I assume this what folks mean when they say Axioms are bright. Weird, but I do not notice this at all when I watch movies.

I find it odd too, because neither do I.

Cam - this is exactly how I'd describe my Audyssey results pre-feature pack upgrade. Since I upgraded, I have not noticed the same harsh highs. (and they were harsh and ugly... ouch!)

C'mon guys it is just your cables causing the problem, you have to buy the right cables to attenuate the highs a little to make the Axioms truly transparent and tame those highs.
