[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 1107187, member: 18"] Full disclosure: I use FIR Room correction and still prefer the LF EQ mostly manual. Foobar source with convolution. Audyssey can and does help below the Schroeder frequency and with LF EQ where most speakers have a rising power response and need some help or with difficult rooms. It also helps speakers with response profiles that differ from those considered good. In the case of the Q300 most of that is baffle step compensation and some MH correction. Even the newer setups (incl the likes of Trinnov) frequently over-correct for SBIR effects which can lead to mixed results, not to speak of the frequent couch reflections from the setup mic which the newer setups do not account for all that well. I am yet to find an auto-EQ that I prefer over manual power response optimization when listening to natural far field mic recordings. There is still space in this world for no EQ setups and its one of the reasons why music recordings are still so much better than cinema mix downs. The better Audyssey setups are best done with gated measurements and power response weighting manually applying EQ with the toolkit. The automatic setup is still some way from optimal ime. [/QUOTE]
