Myself, I use Audyssey, in my HT Room and leave it alone, as the Calibration is well balanced for DD and or Stereo listening. In my case with my main speakers with very near field listening, the balanced sound is best with my particular Mains, pointed straight out into the room. My listening distance is only 6 feet from TV, Mains + Center channel. Mains are 6 feet apart along with the side surrounds. Simple basement small room application for one person.
