I've used 2EQ, Multi-EQ XT and now Multi-EQ XT32, each one a very noticeable improvement over the last. My speakers have never sounded better, especially the bass.Thanks Steve.
audyssey gets a lot of stick, but I’ve used the majority of EQ systems and it did a better job than some of the higher brow ones out there, this obviously in my room, and I’m only talking about multi channel movie listening.
So far I've not felt the need to buy the app. The geek in me is being outvoted by the tight wad, at least for the moment. But if for some reason I could pick it up for a tenner then I would pick it up.Audessey seams fine for sorting out bass issues, but I've never enjoyed what it does above around 120Hz.
So for me the app is essential to limit its range of effectiveness.
Without the app, the effects of Audessey for me are pretty horrible, and make my fairly decent speakers (KEF r500) sound like tin cans!
I use this setting as I have a Lyngdorf with RoomPerfect, on my front L/R & bass cabinets, it works really well.When exactly would someone use the Bypass L/R option ?
Why?I use this setting as I have a Lyngdorf with RoomPerfect, on my front L/R & bass cabinets, it works really well.
Why do I have the Lyngdorf or why do I use RoomPerfect?Why?
Front L/R bypass.Why do I have the Lyngdorf or why do I use RoomPerfect?
Oh, I seeFront L/R bypass.
It’s very easy to flick between the two settings, you may find, which setting you prefer, depends on the material your listening to at the time.Interesting article thanks Steve. I read it was preferable to use ‘Flat’ eq curve over ‘Reference’. But I wonder now which one would suit me better?
I don’t have a treated room. It is a decent sized lounge using 5.1.2 atmos. Carpeted floor with sofa curtains etc but has quite a lot of reverb due to it being converted master bedroom in a three storey house.
Trust me gibbsy, I’m an old Fart and you would be able to do arc Genesis. All you need is someone to show you the basics, and away you go.I haven't a clue what to do on the likes of Dirac or ARC and have to rely on running the basic Audyssey XT32 and in my room it does a pretty good job, especially on bass management. God send for old farts like me to be honest.
Hi, simple answer is what ever sounds the best to you. Try all the settings, on my system flat tends to give clearer vocals and dynamic volume on low clearer still. Dynamic eq adds all the sounds that would have been lost when the volume is low especialy bass, some like it others dont.Interesting article thanks Steve.

My eldest grandson thinks I'm a lost cause as far as computers or anything to do with them is concerned. One day maybe, who knows.Trust me gibbsy, I’m an old Fart and you would be able to do arc Genesis. All you need is someone to show you the basics, and away you go.
I did not realise that sand had become so precious back in Blighty! Is it the new Toilet Paper / Paper Towel of 2021?*although if anyone has a Lyngdorf MP60 they will be happy to wave goodbye to for five bags of sand please PM me as I'll be ringing the doorbell before they've pressed 'send'.
