    Lyngdorf MXA-8400 vs DIY 1ET400A implementations

    Is there an advantage to Lyngdorf's implementation over a DIY offering from the likes of Audiophonics? I've been having an internal debate with myself as to which route to go that I can't settle. On the one hand, a DIY implementation means if anything goes wrong it's a simple thing for me to...

    Facing subwoofer into corner?

    The thing is a subwoofer's output is not linear in-room, you'll have dips and peaks across the range of frequencies it reproduces. Where those dips and peaks are and at what degree depends on a combination of factors. You might increase a dip bringing it closer to the corner, or not... no way to...

    Facing subwoofer into corner?

    You would need to take your own measurements to draw conclusions - every room is different. Pointing a sub at the wall can help to solve/alleviate some issues, like SBIR, but no way to know without measuring. Do you feel you are lacking output in the first place?

    Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

    I've experimented with it but not had great results on the EQ and crossover settings side. I do use the distances it set though. My setup is unusual in that I prefer a 150Hz crossover and my subs set to stereo bass, which might be why it doesn't work so well for me.

    Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

    For interest's sake, these are the options available under the Biquad/Parametric filter tab:

    It does, you can individually tweak all channels:

    Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

    Speaking for myself, I was referring to the flexibility of MultEQ-X, which allows for a great deal of flexibility beyond the standard app (including bypassing auto-EQ entirely in favour of manual EQ).

    How old are ASR's users?

    I agree with Mnyb - in my experience it's the older audio enthusiasts fed a steady diet of audio publications back in the day that are more staunchly on the subjectivist train. I think younger budding enthusiasts have benefitted from the internet's broader coverage of the subject.

    Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

    The big advantage with the X6700H is MultEQ-X, if you're willing to pay a bit extra for the functionality. Very powerful and easy to use calibration tool - you'll be able to achieve much better results with that than you could with what the X1400H offers. If you're happy with the X1400H...

    Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

    Yes, that's possible. If a source is playing in a sound mode you'd rather not have it play through, cycle through the sound modes until you find the one you want - it should automatically switch to that sound mode in future. Might be that there's a setting or two in the setup menu that manages...

    Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

    As Newman outlined, I connect the pre-outs to external amplifiers and set the X6800 to "Pre-Out Mode" A question for you, why do you use eARC, why not connect all your devices directly to the Denon?

    Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

    I purchased one at launch, after an initial setup issue (my fault), it's been working flawlessly with my LG OLED. I do however use it as a processor, so not making use of the internal amps.

    Audyssey's Next Generation of Room Correction (MultEQ-X)

    Would anyone be able to clarify Atmos enabled speaker distance settings for me. In the Denon menu you can set distances for individual speakers, but in the case of Atmos enabled speakers there is an additional setting for distance to ceiling. Am I right in assuming this distance is then summed...

    Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

    Yes it does, I've been using my Harmony Elite with it no problem (I believe it was the commands for the 4800H I added).

    Marantz AV10 AV Processor Review

    No they don't, a 4K TV automatically upscales HD content to maximise the image quality (of whatever incoming resolution). You don't need to adjust processing for either 4K or HD, certainly that would not be the purist approach. Of course it's your TV and you can do with it what you want to...

    Marantz AV10 AV Processor Review

    If eARC works for you and you don't need many inputs, then that's good. I think it's just as simple the other way around - in fact in my experience it's less prone to problems. I don't know if this is in relation to my comment on standards. There is a standard for HD, rec 709. and Ultra HD...

    Marantz AV10 AV Processor Review

    That's it right there, they are limited to 2 or 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs, whereas an AVR or processor allows you to connect and switch conveniently between a lot more devices. Find out what the display lag is (can be eyed with a test pattern, measured with a lag tester or just lifted from a review)...

    Audyssey's Next Generation of Room Correction (MultEQ-X)

    I wasn't referring to your subwoofer or crossover settings, but to the lift from about 1K down. I've noticed MQX can introduce this when curtaining the response, so what I was suggesting is that you look at what the effect is of dragging the curtain across the range.

    Audyssey's Next Generation of Room Correction (MultEQ-X)

    @Acerun - I've noticed when curtaining with MQX, the corrected region can be raised in relation to the rest of the speaker range. Open MQX and reconnect, then shift the range of the correction to see how it's affecting the volume level, try checking or unchecking "Disable Auto-Leveling" to see...
