RE: Audyssey claims to take out the guesswork

This software may, or may not be satisfying. However, if the marketing claims go beyond "automatic, quick, and precise" and also include "accurate" then my BS flag will be raised, because it is not practical to generate exact inverse filters. For example, if there is a deep null at a particular frequency it won't be possible to provide sufficient boost to level out the frequency response. There will be approximations and tradeoffs and no single best solution, even if there is only a single listener position being optimized.

Hearing something sound good in a demo shows that the sound is approximately correct. It does not tell the effects of long term listening, wherein the listener learns the weaknesses of the system. One can hide the pea beneath several mattresses, but eventually a princess will recognize that the pea is still present.
