No I haven’t looked into it, but I will check it out. However, I based on the results I’ve heard with the stock Audyssey setup I can’t imagine giving them another $500 especially considering there are at lest 15 things I can think of off the top of my head that will improve my listening viewing experience better than a more expensive version of Audyssey.
I haven’t really looked but have you seen any independent testing done to verify what Audyssey is really doing (results), as I understand the concept. Everyone seems to have an opinion on how it great/poorly it works but getting any real information seems hard to come by.
True that. A PS3 with a few games and a handful of blu-ray disks or Auddyssey . You can get an OPPO BDP-83 for around $500 as well   .

Just a thought here guys - from a complete amateur,
Why don't you run audyssey with some el cheapo sides to get the room calibration and then plug in the axiom qs8s. If the sw is ignorant of multi/dipole speakers, why not give it what it assumes and then introduce the real speakers.
Of course, this is coming from someone who won't be hearing the QS8s until tomorrow afternoon when i install them...

But the other speakers wouldn't have the same sensitivity as the QSxs, most likely, so the calibration would be totally invalid.

I'm thinking that may work to some degree if the frequency response and sensitivity of the two sets of speakers are similar. Of course you can always go in and manually change the setup too.

Maybe Axiom could throw in some free M3s with every Qs8 sold?
hehehe

Audyssey, if run correctly, make my Qs8's perform better than regular calibration using an SPL meter, built in pink noise, DVE, etc...

Fully agreed - for my room my treble goes up and bass goes down, just less depth/richness/texture with EQ on.
Exact same thing here!

I didn't realize this question would bring on so many response, thanks all for your input!
I learned a bit more about trinnov, and why any di-pole / bi-pole speakers could be misread by the series of mics that unit uses.
Someone also had great advice in saying don't let the audio correction tech dictate the choice of speakers.
But all in all, in not sure I'm much further ahead. I could certinaly be wrong, but I think Trinnov's going to be a whole new league - and I'd like to have the option to use it when appropriate. BUT, I also want the highly praised attributes that the QS speakers will surely bring to my less than ideal room.
The r-972's on the way now - finally - so I'll first focus on learning its cababilities before I get surrounds speakers - and hopefully, in time, I'll be able to get some more feekback on how trinnov operates with bi-poles (if at all) before I have to make a decision.
hmmm.. maybe a future software firmware trinnov upgrade will let you designate that bi-poles are in use, and it could modify its reading technique to "protect" itself against getting confised by numerious incoming sound waves... hint - hint.. ?

S/N and by association, Trinnov, are aware of the problem with multi-poled speakers.
