In the REW plots below, blue is Audyssey with minidsp 2XHD, it got rid of the dips at 50 and 70 Hz.
Mr. TheWarrior seems to be a helpful person, but I disagree with what he said or implied (not saying he's all wrong, just seemed extreme to me) about Audyssey, iirc he told me Audyssey would mess up the phase of my speakers/subs, without first viewing any of my REW plots. When I did post one, he did not follow up so he might have changed his mind a little but anyway that's distant memory that I shouldn't even have remembered
.
I have a high regard for Dr. F. Toole but I am also have high regards for other well experts who may or may not have shared some of the same views that Dr. F. Toole has in his books. I have yet to order his latest book to learn more, as so far I have been relying material that he has made available online for free.
Minidsp did make slight improvements for me but with Audyssey alone, I was getting +/- 3 dB 18-90 Hz 1/24 smoothing and better in multi channel stereo, so I moved the mini to one of my stereo only system.
I am of the opinion (based on my perceived logic) that using the 2XHD with Audyssey SubEQHT will not likely get me overall better result for multi-channel material, any difference will probably be insignificant. For Stereo application, it most likely will work very well with SubEQHT/XT32, but at the moment I don't have an extra suitably equipped AVR for otherwise a good experiment for me.
