RoboKlipsch Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I've run a calibration tool before but never Audyssey. I just got a used Denon with XT, ran it, and thought it came back very muted on the high end. I read a bit and saw they have a roll-off on the top end, and if you don't like it, use Audyssey flat which is the same without the rolloff. Using the corrected flat setting, I found the results stunning and terrific. Any thoughts on this or your own experiences with Audyssey and tweaking the settings? Thank you, RK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) I've run a calibration tool before but never Audyssey.

Thank you, RK I generally prefer Audyssey Flat, as well. It seems that most people who choose Audyssey Flat turn up their sub a bit after using Audyssey, and/or turn up their bass control a little (not the graphic virtual sliders, because they can't be used with Audyssey). Since the bass is smoother after Audyssey, it can now be turned up a bit, overall, without boominess. This helps with vinyl and CDs that incorporate bass attenuation (for various reasons). The most preferred house curve is both smooth (Audyssey should help tremendously with that) and tipped up a bit in the bass.

RoboKlipsch Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks Garyc. I will tweak the bass up and see what it sounds like. Amazing how fixing the phase through correction made the sub disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I am a MCACC man myself, lol. Congrats on the new avr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks Derrickdj1. I picked up a Denon AVR3808CI in great condition cheap. The knock on it is the remote sucks, but I picked it up and got everything setup without a hitch. I'm guessing the issues are more if someone wants the remote to do everything -- I just want it to run the AVR, imagine that Upping the bass was definitely smart. I will experiment with how much and it's effects. I'm honestly shocked how much improved the sound is overall. I've got the sub in the back of an L-shaped room and although I may try one other spot up front, I'm really surprised it's blending so well.

derrickdj1 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 A Harmony 650 remote will replace the one you have and is not real expensive. It takes a while to learn the avr well and get the most out of it. Keeping playing with it and learn all the tweaks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
