Do you really feel leaving the EQ flat is the closet thing to hear the soundtrack the way engineers intended? If you do feel this way, then which receiver do you feel plays the soundtrack in the way it was intended to be heard? What I mean by my second question is, not all AVR will sound the same if the EQ were all flat. I'm sure not all will come close even with tweaking the EQ or letting auto function set it up for you, but it’s an improvement.
