My current hypothesis is that if you are a new user and only rely on the automated results you might not get your preferred sound, however if you know how to tweak, use the advanced features of MultiEQX and double check with REW both systems can be tuned very very closely.
Yep, I fully agree. Firstly we've had 3 or 4 variations from both Audyssey and Dirac, plus Anthem? over the last few years Even just using the base fully automated sweeps I don't see how we could ever come up with any supportable conclusions. Then multiply that times the users tweaking options then
OMG.
I'm sure if the engineers looked closely at each base systems design, the options, computing power, etc; they could award a clear winner. ???
But put in the hands of you, I, and the other guy, I believe they can all arrive at a reasonable outcome, or a total disaster, depending on the users ability to RTFM.
It's a mad, mad, mad world.
