Good idea! I never thought of that. Is having the EQ sliders at 0 (like in the "manual" EQ setting) equivalent to no Audyssey EQ?

Mark, the EQ can't be manually set if Audyssey is left on.

I just wish their principal could be applied without the EQ settings generated by Audyssey. I just went in and manually set the EQ sliders to neutral positions if I remember right.... allowing me to have Audyssey on for these features without it otherwise EQing the sound... John is right. I tried and the sliders can only be changed if the EQ is set to manual. But as soon as I select DynEQ or Dyn Vol, the EQ switches back to the Audyssey EQ. Too bad...

Bruno, it shouldn't really be viewed as "too bad"; Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume work based on the overall Audyssey parameters. Dr. Kyriakakis has made clear that there's no provision for manually "tweaking" the Audyssey settings. The manual setting available on some receivers(which he's referred to as "crude")is only available instead of Audyssey, not to modify it. Audyssey(including the Dynamic EQ and Volume features)is either on or off.

Thanks John. What I meant by "too bad" is that even though I am not a fan of the results given by MultiEQ, I find DynEQ and DynVol very useful. I understand that they will not work without MultiEQ on but also think that it's a choice from Audyssey in order to promote their EQ system. In a design stand point, they could probably apply the same algorithm used for DynEQ and DynVol to an EQ set manually, they just choose not to.

You've got top of the line, very linear speakers. I bet you could start adding some room treatments, and reduce the amount of adjustment being applied by the MultiEQ.
