So I keep coming back to the same problem over and over. There are a couple brands/models of AVR I like and am researching. One set (Denon, Onkyo) uses Audyssey XT while the other Pioneer uses MCACC. Since the AVR's I am looking at are all decent close in feature set, and in my case are all going to be used mostly as a pre I really want to hone in on the EQ differences.
I want to start this thread for folks to talk about what pro's con's they see to each EQ. This is NOT a thread to talk about any other features one AVR has that another doesn't. This is JUST for EQ
So here is the list I will start. If your going to add something please copy this list and add to it.
MCACC Pro's
1. Easier procedure since there is only 1 listening point
2. Graphical view of system response
MCACC Con's
1. It doesnt EQ the sub
2. Its only a 9 band EQ
3. One x-over point for all speakers, so your weakest link sets everything
Audyssey XT Pro's
1. More measured points for a better response in room
2. EQ's the sub
3. Most XT AVR's are pro capable for more customization
Audyssey XT Con's
1. You cant see what its doing
Please keep adding to this list as you go. If any of the entries are incorrect let me know. Thanks!
