Whose instructions? How did you position the mic? You still use it outside of eq for level/distance?

Yes, I do use it for level and distance, it seems to get that right, the only thing in need of tweaking were the sub outputs but they were very close. Actually unlike the other units the Audyssey curve was very close to my curve from my measurements. So that seems to be improved on this unit from the previous ones.
So the speakers are essentially flat at 1 meter from the speakers, Apart from the roll off of the center and side surrounds, at 47Hz and 52Hz respectively, second order roll off at that point. The room curves at the listening positions look like they should. You should never aim for a flat line at the listening positions. The room has no nasty peaks or suck outs, as per design, and the speakers are very flat with the left and right main getting to 20 Hz no problem. The rear surrounds get very close to that. The system can produce full concert levels and never sounds in any way stressed.

Better, but yes the xt32 is widely viewed as a better version. Did you use the editor app? How did you edit the cuirve? How did you measure results? Same ears that like your new pre-pro?

I use omni mic and it discs and programs. It is a good system for speaker evaluation.

That didn't answer the question particularly. I know you don't like Audyssey, that's not news. Just checking more than expecting much.

What tools do you use to manage your system and room?

 

[Trell]

You know you are a very rude type of bloke, mend your ways.

You can be very rude as well, just saying, so perhaps we both can take your advice to heart?

Yup, and there are the many replies of his along with recalling what the poster posted earlier, or is it only new posters that will be shot down rudely for saying that they hear differences among good DACs, but not backed up with evidence?
