Replying to @Doctors11 from the other thread:
It doesn't help that the setup confuses me a bit. For one, it says to move around the room. But what exactly that means is unclear, as most of the setup is really. If they were going for making it easy for those totally new to anything beyond a bluetooth speaker to setup, they're really missing the mark. They need to revamp the setup to be much clearer, and enable it to automatically set distances and levels. I haven't really had to mess with any of this since I set up the Audyssey on my Denon X1300W who knows how long ago, but I'm not new to this bracket of audio. I still had some trouble with it. Here's my finished results according to the app:
Is that how it should look? No idea honestly. I have a big issue with this screen right here:
I'm assuming that "roll-off" is supposed to be for the subwoofer's low end if you have one, except for the front full-range measurement. Not really clear though, and they expect total newbies to figure out what to put there? Even worse is the lower part. How should one adjust that slider? It seems like you'd go to the right if you want more bass, since that's the positive dB side, but then is says you adjust it that way if there's too much bass? What? My assumption is that it should say "Want more bass?" for the right and "Want less bass?" for the left because what's there is totally contradictory. But even ignoring that, if you want to adjust it you have rerun the calibration each time which is a huge chore and makes it impossible to effectively compare different levels.
Ugh. Total mess IMO.
Hopefully Dirac goes on sale soon so I can not have to worry about it anymore.
I've now had a chance to set it up and... I'm not sure. I've tried doing to A/B testing with it on/off with various content and I'm not sure what, if anything, is different with the EZ Set EQ on. Sometimes I think maybe it's a bit more bass shy but a bit less muddy with it in, but then after some more listening I think maybe it's not different at all, actually. If there is any change, it's pretty subtle.How would you rate the built in room correction?
