How did we ever make it without...

[rebuy]

audyssey or those other correction devices. What would the younger crowd do without it?

We actually had to rely on what sounded good to us.

Yep and if your part deaf in one ear it sounds odd to everyone else.

Actually I don't care much for what MCACC does to the EQ and what not.

Same way we do now. Use an SPL. Nothing wrong with auto-calibration, but it is good to check. However, I suspect for 99.99% of the population, the auto-calibration software gives better results than manual adjustment. Technological progress is the name of the game. Besides, auto-calibration has only been around for a few years.

I still live without it and haven't looked back...

We trusted our ears and made adjustments so it sounded good to us. Back in the mid 70's stereo days I had a Soundcraftsman equalizer. It had 10 sliders per side so you could adjust frequency ranges. Man that was fun!

Audyssey is great...for home theater. The biggest improvement was how it cleaned up the low end. Can't say I like music through any receiver or pre-pro though.

+1 to that.

I've never used auto-eq before so I'm not the most informed, however I am sure I would rather do the setup myself. If I did go through an auto-eq process, I would assuredly have to carefully examine the settings it decided on and see how they line up with my own findings.

Has anyone set up their HT themselves, and then run the auto-eq to see what changes it made?

Auto calibration is a nice feature upgrade that can serve many. However, I fully agree with your post. Makes it easy and efficient for HT but IMHO, far from a good tool for music listening.
