Flavors of Audyssey MultEQ

[KEW]

This is a great link for explaining the different levels of Audyssey RoomEQ for anyone not familiar with it (link below).
http://www.audyssey.com/technologies/multeq/flavors

However, it seems ambiguous to me.
For MultEQ XT, it says:

Our advanced resolution room correction solution with high resolution equalization filters for satellites and subwoofers.

For plain old MultEQ, it says:

Our standard resolution room correction solution that uses mid-level resolution filters for satellites and subwoofers.

But if you look at the table, "Filter resolution (subwoofer)" is listed as 128x for both MultEQ and MultEQ XT!

Does the table have a typo, or is the text wrong in saying XT has higher resolution filters for subwoofers?

Thanks!

Features MultEQ XT32 MultEQ XT MultEQ 2EQ
Filter resolution (satellites) 512x 16x 2x x
Filter resolution (subwoofer) 512x 128x 128x N/A
Number of Measurement Positions 8* 8* 6 3
Adaptive Low Frequency Correction Yes Yes Yes N/A
Crossover, Polarity, Delays, Levels Yes Yes Yes Yes


32 is the increase it looks like 512 vs 128

That is XT 32 (1st column) vs XT (2nd column).
I'm looking at XT (2nd column) vs MultEQ (non-XT; 3rd column)

correct at this time doesnt seem to be beneficial, Id think adding a stand alone eq for a 2.2 system would be more beneficial.

My real point here is that the text contradicts the table.
Either the description is wrong or the table is wrong.
I was hoping someone would know which is correct!

You are right about the contradiction but I am quite sure the text is wrong. In room eq, sub comes first, so starting with 128X makes sense to me. Any lower than that probably wouldn't be too useful. XT did an okay job setting up my sub but XT32 did a much better job, even integrated two different subs for me.
