Right now I own / use a Yamaha RX-V671 and it offers YPAO, which I know is different than Audyssey and Audyssey DSX.
My goal:
I am having a house built right now that will have a dedicated home theater room, which my intentions is to put the Yamaha RX-V671 in there with my 7.2 setup.
The reason why I am asking about the Audyssey DSX is there's a simple Onkyo receiver and price is pretty attractive that seems to have great features, network streaming and offers this Audyssey DSX.
The receiver is the HT-RC360 * http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=HT-RC360&class=Receiver&p=i *
My plan is to install this Onkyo into the family room (not home-theater room) that will be pushing little Mirage MX5 speakers (5.1).
From what I am gathering about Audyssey DSX is it would need more than 5.1 setup to make it work, correct?
If so, I would be willing to buy a pair of little mirage sats if thats the case.
So if anyone can share any input about Audyssey DSX that would be wonderful.
Last, would this Onkyo be a better performer in the dedicated HT room than my Yami 671?
I know the Yami is much more expensive, but I don't really believe that "Just because you pay more it will be better" belief
Thanks for any input.
Cheers
** By the way, I never owned ONKYO, but did have a denon 1611 and pioneer SC05 a while back and now a Yami 671 **
