Randy, your initial findings with Audyssey was how I described it as well, it is also about the same difference I noticed running the A1400 vs the 3808w/Audyssey, only the A1400 was much better at bass, overall feel of the music, hard to describe the differences I heard. I will say that I liked the A1400 by itself rather than with Audyssey through the 3808, at least for 2 channel listening.
