Dang. His goes to eleven.
I'll have to try harder in my schemes for evil.
I think I need more minions. That would be a good start.

You ALWAYS want more minions. I always though that "Minions" would be a good name for a Frito-Lay snack food.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Any general feeling on this receiver? I know it doesn't have Audyssey, but does MCACC have something equivalent to the new fancy features that I can't remember the name of?

It comes with microphone and laptop wielding minions to do that for you.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Ah, I meant Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ. I can never remember the differences...

MCACC has served me well over the years, but my next receiver will have Audyssey as I want to give that a whirl. MCACC is a "single sweet spot" type of tool similar to Audyssey, but I want multi-point calibration next time. Of course, it will cost me about 2.5x this receiver's price to get it. Did some digging, found some info that someone else posted elsewhere (Read: These are someone else's comments from another site) Audyssey - Easy;more of a one shot deal;cannot make certain adjustments afterwards because it adversely affects the filters
MCACC - Initial setup is easy; certain models only take one listening point, as opposed to audysseys 3, 6, or more; once you take your readings, it's highly customizable interface allows for all kinds of tweaking, but you need to read up on it.
YPAO - Simplest of the bunch, I dont know if it applies filters, but it does the chirp thing to set speaker levels and such; was generally commented as the worst of the bunch To read more, go here: Audyssey Vs. MCACC Real posts start about 5 posts in.

Not having used anything but MCACC, I'm satisfied with it. Simple to use with good results.

Yea, I used MCACC as mentioned above. It would do the main setup, but I could tweak it to my liking. Now I am reading that Audyssey (which does a more advanced setup with MultEQ XT for example) doesn't let you tune it afterwards since that will kill their filters..... Wow. So I may end up paying a good chunk of money mainly to get a feature that I might end up turning off???? Wowza. Might need to see about buying from someone with a good return policy.
