Hi ASR experts,
Currently I have Genelec surround set up 8340 and 8330 measured by GLM, with 2 SVS SB-12 NSD subs run by Yamaha RX-V775. My Yamahas and SVS subs were brought in 2014. The YPAO does a mediocre job in sub integration especially for 2 channel music. Movies are still fine. Ofcourse the best integration with subs will be with Genelec subs but a pair of 12" subs (7370) will be over 5,5K euros. Many have recommended that the Genelec subs are overpriced and one can achieve sonic qualities with other non-genelec subs.
One option is to go for minidsp DDRC24 bass management for sub integration only (still use GLM for Genelec monitors) but based on @amirm the new Audyssey in x3700 is quite close to DIRAC measurements. Hence based on response in another thread raised by me, I am tending towards buying a Denon x3700H
So my questions to the experts are the following:
Appreciate your insights and input to help in my decision.

So my questions to the experts are the following:
- Is anyone using x3700 with active speakers and using Denon's Audyssey for subwoofer measurements and integration alone? Hows your experience and how's the ease of set up?
- How to turn off the Audyssey for speakers and switch it on only for subwoofers?
- Does Audyssey measure individual subwoofers (I have a pair) or does it do collectively?
- some Subwoofer companies like SVS, Arendal and Nubert in Europe (live in Europe) offer App based subwoofer measurements and corrections? Are they better than Audyssey app or how different are they?
Appreciate your insights and input to help in my decision.
