Tam not trying to be confrontational here just sharing personal experience.Unfortunately one of the biggest mistakes Audyssey makes is phase. It said I had speakers out of phase I would reverse the leads and then it would say a different speaker was out of phase. I checked my speakers with a 9 volt battery and tested all wiring with an ohm meter and despite audysseys complaints everything was as it should be. From what I have read this is a common mistake made by audyssey because of room reflections. I have a Denon 3311 and it has Audyssey xt32, I also have a Yamaha with Ypao and like what the Yamaha does for correction better. Some rooms benefit from correction more than others. The room I have right now doesn't seem to require much correction as it doesn't seem to sound a great deal different with it on or off. I do use it so I can use dsx for front wides. As far as it setting a small driver for 40hz is for lack of a better word , ridiculous . A 5.25 drive is just not capable of that kind of excursion. I agree that Audyssey is great for us people who don't want to or cant spend the time to address room response issues with treatments.
I am personally too lazy to bother. I bought all the electronics necessary to analyze my room with REW but its just too involved , so audyssey it is Maybe its just my bad hearing.
