 What might help us all understand this better is to know who developed each and how the system works. |
Ok, let's start gathering information !!!
Audyssey: developed by Audyssey Laboratories.
How does MultEQ work? Resulting graphs Audioholics YPAO: developed by Yamaha.
Not much to be found on the web about this one.
YPAO Audioholics MCACC: developed by Pioneer
MCACC Presentation (Very well done)
It seems that Pioneer provides a software to manage MCACC in some receivers:

From what I can see in the user guide, this piece of software seems very nice and might be very helpful!
What we need now is some detailed information on how they work. Does someone know where to find it ?

It seems to me the only way to really know which will be better is to set up all three in the same room and chart one before measurement and then chart three after measurements from each system to see which one is more accurate. Otherwise it's all conjecture as to which one is better. |
I don't believe it's that easy, Sonny. Some kind of rooms or setup may be more favorable to MCACC, YPAO or Audyssey. We should probably perform tests with different environments:
1) Room with controlled acoustics - correct/incorrect speaker placement
2) Living room with uncontrolled env. - correct/incorrect speaker placement
3) Small/large rooms
4) Rooms with many hard/soft surfaces
5) etc
Maybe we could have a special place on this forum where people can post their setup and results. That would be a really great place to search for differences and shown the true results without any marketing involved
What do you think ?
