You will find that audyssey will sound different from one calibration to the other. Make sure you have a dead silent house. No fridges running ,nothing to interupt you.I thought i had timed it perfect, i was on setting 6 and both my kids came home crashin and bangin. Make sure you use a tripod ,and i find that keeping the mic close to the prime seating position is best. I really dont care how good it sound to anyone but me, basically becasue it is after all, its all about me smile. I only use the 3 main seating positions on my couch and i use all 8 calibrations for maximum resolution. BTW audyssey does not set the distances that is done by the amp manufacturer. Audyssey takes care of the room deficiencies and crossover.
