JefDC Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 For many months I have been 'appreciative' listening to my system (see below in the +Signature section) - appreciative because I don't like the term 'critical listening, IMO it conveys the wrong message). I wonder what your experiences are regarding in 'Direct-' or 'Audyssey corrected' mode. For music (2.0): Personally I notice that in Direct mode the speakers have some coloration mainly noticeable with voices but the overall sound; dynamics and especially the sound stage is better than Audyssey corrected. With Audyssey the coloration disappears but sound stage changes is less 'clear'. For movies(5.0.4) The Audyssey corrected mode gives a more coherent sound and is much preffered over manual adjusted parameters. Is this my imagination or are others noticing this as well. Note: these are subtle differences - both modes are perfectly enjoyable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Signature not in post. Is it a Marantz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefDC Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 It is a Denon AVR-X4300H. I think that you must enable 'Signatures' in your 'Account Settings' to see them. Copy of my Signature: - XTZ a2-300 amplifier powering RP-8060FA front speakers - Denon AVR-X4300H receiver powering a RP-404C center speaker - RP-240S surround speakers - RP-500SA ATMOS speakers and the ATMOS speakers in the RP-8060FA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Programs like Audyssey try to smooth out the overall 20hz-20khz response in your room. Not everyone likes a flat frequency curve. I always turned off all the processing like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefDC Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 I like the less colored sound from the Audyssey but not the (small) change in soundstage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
