Supposedly, this reduces strain on your receiver somehow, but I'm not sure about this.
And yes I used the Audyssey, but didn't care for it's settings too much. I kept the distance settings, but changed about everything else, and the settings listed in my post above were the settings I ended up with before I upgraded my speakers. After I got all the new speakers in place, I re-ran Audyssey, and then tweaked a little to my liking. I set all my individual speaker levels at 0 though, because everything is pretty evenly spaced in relation to the main seating position (being the sofa). I'm sure it's not a perfect calibration, but I don't have an SPL meter and it sounds really good to me.

oh ok. i have the onkyo ht-s5100. it does have the audyssey feature i just found out, but i've never used it and probably don't plan to. i let the professionals handle that and they already have.
