and it works very well with my all-Magnepan fronts plus LS3/5A's in back. (Yeah, I know. I was doubtful whether the LS3/5A's would integrate well, but they do, and I think Audyssey is responsible for shaping their response so that they blend well.) I have MMG's left and right and—again, veering from orthodoxy—a Mini Maggie system as a center channel. That's right, I feed the Mini Maggie satellites + DWM woofer the center channel signal. This works better than the MMGC, which is defficient on the low end (drops off at about 150Hz or sooner), on the high end (can't compete with the Mini Maggie ribbons), and has a narrow sweet spot (I toe in the Mini Maggie satellites and get a wider sweet spot).
My 5.1 system sounds much, much better with Audyssey room correction than uncorrected. Surround sound plus Audyssey room correction is what made me abandon plain old stereo.
I have not tried Trinnov or Dirac.
