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 ?
Yeah, I think it would be good if people could use REW to show us the before and after... kinda like I did. We need to all use the same graph axis so that comparing is easier. We could start a sticky thread I suppose.

That's a pretty impressive midband improvement. And if it's at the main listening position, extremely impressive response. I need to get one of those. I wish someone would release a receiver with the TI Purepath amps (for energy efficiency, and just to be able to say that my system is "digital to the binding posts:") and the Audessey system. I'd pay good money for that.
Yes, main listening position only. I don't generally do all six seats since I'm typically in there by myself for 9 out of every 10 movies. I figure my seat is the most important. Most others that come in there wouldn't notice a difference one way or another... they walk out with their bottom jaw dragging the floor regardless.

Supposedly they have improved the Audyssey in the latest receivers. Audyssey also has a standalone unit called the Sound EQ, which is an 8 Channel MultiEQ. It calibrates using MultiEQ Pro software--up to 32 measurements per room. It provides both Time & Frequency correction and improves sub/sat blending for much smoother bass response. It works with any prepro or receiver with pre-out/main-ins for all channels. Uhh... er.... retail is $2500. Did I just hear a

It's designed for custom installers to come in and set it up for you. They purchase a install kit that includes: MultEQ Pro CD, Calibrated Microphone, Microphone Stand and Cables, Calibrated Preamplifier, XLR-to-RCA Adapter, USB Cables and a Carrying Bag.
