i would think this might merit a review in audioholics as it is completely unbelievable if true. i just recently came across this in a thread on AVS on rythmik subs:
"I found this at the "Audyssey" official thread:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...96#post9792196
Audyssey does not only substantially cut through subsonic content (ie, below 20hz), but will dramatically impact 20-30hz as well. You can read this thread for more information:

Trimming the subwoofer does NOT solve this issue. Audyssey MultiEQ was designed for the average consumer, which generally speaking, will not have subwoofers capable of reference output below 25hz. They have addressed this issue with the PRO version of Audyssey, and they have also paired with subwoofer companies such as SVS to address and provide the benefits of Audyssey down into the low extension realms:

so this is basically saying that all of us that go out and buy our big bux subs and play them on 95% of all AVR's on the planet (audyssey) are no better off than if we had just gone out and bought some wimpy 10" sub?
someone later on in the thread (this is from a thread on rythmik subs) pointed out that the above referenced audyssey post is a couple of years old. have they changed this? is audyssey really crippling our subs below 30hz? in response, many posters said some variation of "just check it with a RS meter and you will see it's not true". which would be fine if you could find a non-pro sound meter that could read down below 20hz accurately. what is audioholics take on all this?
