Is this part of Audyssey XT32 setup these days for newer amps? or is it still just for a lucky few higher end amps. If so is their a list of amps with this feature I can reference?
All current and former Denon and Marantz models with XT32 also include Sub EQ HT. It was only some of the former Onkyo/Integra models that did not include Sub EQ HT with some of their XT32 models (eg. 818 and 929); however, as of 2014, Onkyo/Integra models no longer use Audyssey. For 2014 and 2015 models, if you want XT32, only options will be Denon and Marantz.
I believe the legacy list only dates back to about the 2013 model year. There are older Onkyo models (TX-NR_008's and TX-NR_009's and equivalent Integras) and the venerable Denon AVR-4311CI that also have XT32 + SubEQ HT.
Neither replaced nor updated. Onkyo now uses their own brand of EQ called ACCUEQ which last year didn't EQ the FL/FR speakers or the sub. The 2015 models now EQ the FL/FR speakers.
Is saddens me and still will be a hard move for me to move away from Onkyo... Is the list below 100% up to date. It seems models w\ multi eq and sub eq ht are still pretty pricy. and even used gear is well north of 5. Any advice?

I was also concerned and saddened in selling my flagship Onkyo 5010 (which was calibrated with Audyssey Pro)and buying a Denon X-7200WA
I loved the Onkyo now I don't know whether it is the influence of Dolby Surround (DSU) but the Denon is far more revealing.
I am hearing subtleties in the sound of familiar discs that the Onkyo just failed to re-produce.
The most noticeable improvement is in the bass, and that is before running a basic Audyssey calibration.
Both AVR's sound different and the changeover will take time to get accustomed to but the more I listen to the Denon the less I miss the Onkyo

Do the 4100. I run an AS-EQ1 with a TX-NR636 (the AS-EQ1 made the Onkyo an option for me, in fact) but no reason to go for a combo like that unless you already have an AS-EQ1 - and the 4100 will still provide better EQ above the sub range as jd notes.
Although the AS-EQ1 will provide the same Sub EQ as XT32, XT32 will still provide a superior speaker EQ, not to mention the X4100W also offers more features.
