| Re: Anyone use REW to measure Onkyo 805?
I have an actively tri-amped system using digital crossovers (DCX2496) which allows me to apply room EQ, plus a sub which is EQed with a BFD, plus I use the Onkyo SR705 as a prepro.
I did a comparison between my EQed system with and without Audyssey overlaid, measured with TrueRTA.
Audyssey does indeed roll off the bass compared to my preferred settings, which tilt up towards 20Hz. It also rolls off the highs.
It does, however, perform much the same kind of correction on individual frequencies as we do with the BFD, so the bass was very flat. Too flat for my tastes.
Since I have more EQ options than I can shake a mic at I don't use Audyssey, but for most people it would be a very good thing to have. If you have a sub with a Linkwitz transform or some similar global to apply post-Audyssey that would be perfect.
