cool. Thank you all.

Anyone know of a quick remote-control way of turning off Audyssey EQ?

I can't seem to be able to turn it off when the source is on. If I'm on "BD" source, I have to turn the Bd player off and then I'm able to to turn EQ off in the Denon settings...

Thanks,

I've tried all the settings. I have dynamic volume set to DAY by choice. I see you have M80's whereas I have M22's. that may be where the biggest difference lies. Perhaps Denon sounds better with M80's, and the Pioneer sounds best with M22's.

Brian, as I mentioned before, while Audyssey is on and Dynamic EQ off, the tone controls can be set.

That's what I meant to say. Couldn't remember at the time. The problem with that is I don't like the sound with EQ turned off. Takes the liveliness out of the sound. Then if you turn the treble down, sounds even worse.

In this regard, MCACC has the better idea. Adjustable equalizer.
