Re: audyssey multeq xt32 is Killing Me and my Sierra-2s! Turning it OFF!
Those graphs you are showing are the main reason I ditched Audyssey and went with Dirac Live. Before purchased the XMC-1 I had 4 x Audyssey receivers (Onkyo TX-SR7005, Onkyo TX-SR876, Onkyo TX-NR809 and Marantz SR7008). All of them killed the response in my speakers at the point that listening to music was a challenge. To resolve that I got a Parasound Halo P5 for music listening only. Back in January I started researching for receiver or pre pros good enough for music and HT so I listening to the AVM60 and liked it better than Marantz but not enough to make the switch. Then I decided to try the XMC-1 and voila, after a couple of hours listening to music I decided to keep it and packet the P5 for sale, same for the Marantz SR7008. Both units were sold in less than 24 Hours.
