Re: YPAO vs MCACC vs Audyssey vs...


YPAO and MCACC allow adjustments after calibration. Audyssey does not. As stated by Kal if you want to adjust frequencies or the like you are just doing a manual setting job, not tweaking Audyssey. I think that Audessey Pro has some tweaking opportunity, but not the varieties in receivers.

I have Audyssey Lite in my Denon 2307CI. Nice job of smoothing things out. Wipes out bass but I don't mind because I have all the latitude in the world to adjust that. You cannot even save a run, try again and then go back if it works out that the previous run was better. And it has my system a bit too bright. No way to fix that in the seven channels. Only if I were to manually set up everything. There is a huge thread on Audyssey on AVS.

That said, I will be picking up a Pio 94 tomorrow with MCACC. You can save six different MCACC runs, tweak anything you want, etc. And it displays a bunch of graphs for you on a computer with the Pio software.

Yamaha has some nice software for the 1800 3800 to help with setup.
