What are the effects of having 2 eq's working simultaneously on a single output? IOW - the Audessey is subtracting at 20hz while the BFD is then adding to 20hz. Doesn't this increase delays and decrease transient response?
I would go along with you on the negative effects of 2 EQ's in a row. In an effort to minimize the effects, I think it is better to have the BFD running in the system even if the filters are minimal when running Audyssey. My thought is that Audyssey will adjust the phase/distance to account for the BFD. My mains, center and Subs are all along the front wall. After running Audyssey, it finds the correct distances for the mains and center (~15') but finds my sub to be ~4.5'. I assumed this was due to delays/transient response. The other thing is that I have not used the BFD to boost any frequency, only cuts. I used the sub amp and the sub out on the receiver to boost the output then cut the peak frequencies with the BFD.

Thanks for your input.
