For the SSP units that do offer home theater automatic room sound calibration with microphones, is it a big deal with substantial audio improvement than someone just setting up the audio manually? And which models offer it other than the Anthem D2?
It's funny how some technology seems new. A 13 year old Meridian 565 has a place in the set-up menu where you put in the measurement--distance--(how far from the chair;each speaker is). I can tell you it works well. Then,after this model-- no more manual set-up. With blueray and the use of analog inputs the calibration of sources is very different.
BTW I just set up my Onkyo 875. I listened first; then I just bumped up the center ch a taste and never used the microphone set up / and love the results in a 7.1 set up.
