RE: Audyssey MultiEQ/XT32 ?

Yes, I used to think that my room of over 6,000 cubic feet sounded quite good, also. Many discerning audiophile friends thought so too. But, it sounds much, much better with EQ on, which becomes quite obvious in seconds in switching it off and on. They all agree that it is a major improvement. Several have also subsequently acquired prepros with room EQ, and are similarly delighted with the results in their rooms. None of us would part with it or ever be without it in any future system upgrades.

The measurements taken via Audyssey Pro confirm the room distortions that were there in my room in the frequency domain, with peaks/ nulls in the 7 to 10 dB range, but which I had grown accustomed to. The EQ lifts many veils that were limiting the sound before. You are likely to be quite shocked at the uneven response in your room upon taking measurements with a decent measurement package. But, it seems, in your case, that ignorance is bliss. You "know" that your room already approaches perfection. But, that is not something that can be determined by one's ears alone, not even your golden ones.
