The Audyssey thread on that forum is a mile long and growing every day with problems like these filling page after page. The Audyssey setup guide on the AVSforum is a great source of information and techniques. With Khorns or other highly efficient speakers, you might find your speakers set at -12, Audysseys lower limit, with no idea of where it really needs to be to match your other speakers. Also, you can run into problems with high sensitivity speakers and consumer amps where you can't adjust the gain. So, the 'general' guidance doesn't address this type of problem. The majority of speakers most folks have at home are nowhere near that tall.

That was contrary to the guidance that the mic be set at ear height. Until I raised the mic to top hat level, I could not get it to work. I have found it to be a highly complex piece of software that requires effort to get the most of it.Ĭase is point was my long struggle to get it to work with Khorns. I have spent a ton of time and energy with Audyssey and still learn stuff all the time. I know it shouldn't be that way, but it is. There is a lot of know-how and technique to getting good, useful readings. I have to totally agree that it is highly unlikely that you can successfully run Audyssey properly right out of the box. It may lead to fine audio when used properly. Its great that everybody finds it useful. I know i can and have numerous times, set up audessey properly. Nobody is going to open a box and properly setup audessey in even 1 month unless using it for a good amount of time beforehand for some amount of time, indeed properly. Claude even with his modest approach and ability to provide knowledge seems to prefer keeping to himself and I respect that very much so and find him to be at huge value to audio and its future. I am in touch with several of the the finest speaker builders in the world. Yes I may end up using a stack just like Claudes someday. I will just say once talking to him i made a tiny adjustment in my opinion. Why did you edit out your comments? You do know that when a post is quoted an email of the original is sent right?

Wasn't Claude running it when you raved about his 1/4 pies? I'm only gonna worry about my table sorry manufactuers Every year ya gotta buy something new or manufauctureres cant put food on the table. I have it on my current surround sound receivers but dont use it.

Audyssey is mallarky Just a new ploy to sell more gear.
