I dont recall seeing a poster note a preference for MCACC...but you were talking about Audyssey correct?

When you speak about the MCACC from Sound and Vision I assume you saw the rest of the sentence where the reviewer said he " could not make a meaningful comparison" between the RC systems?

But again...were you considering MCACC or have you been mentioning Audyssey this whole time?

If someone is considering replacement then your statement about the $1200 ish upgrade is a moot one
But again...that is speculation anyway

I dont understand how MCACC is coming into play here since it was never mentioned
Again..I can find a myriad of reviews that say Dirac is better than Audyssey
There pages of AVS forum reviews, A few custom installers that post here and a myriad of you tube A/V guys that all agree

But like I said before
If you think Audyssey is better ..then you do you

Not even sure where the MCACC subject came from though....
Well I believe you have said Dirac is "arguably the best" RC(that's incorrect). Audyssey which have a few versions happens to be one of many.

Even if I believe Audyssey's MultEQ-X is overall "just as good if not better", I haven't said it is for anyone else.
I just pointed out were you can find others that weren't that impressed or even choose another RC's results.

Yes S&V could not directly compare Dirac to MCACC for obvious reasons but after using both the results sounded "similar".
Everyone can take that for what it's worth.

Again if someone wants to pay $1200 for possible "similar" that's completely their prerogative.
I'm not trying to convince anyone which is "better" for them especially when you consider the cost.

I'm just giving my impression from personal experience just like all those other opinions on here,AVS,S&V, etc.

Arguably the best compared to Audyssey ,YPAO or MCACC
Not in the league or Trinnov or Room Perfect

If you are quoting me..please state the whole idea such as the one I posted from S&V about the merit of what they said

" Everyone can take that what its worth"..is just a speculation idea on your part, simple as that

As for what is " similar" and what is not..you have stated your opinion.
My point was that and I will state it again
I have never seen anyone prefer Audsyssy to Dirac..period..that had experience with both formats
There are literally hundreds of people I could post statements of stating their opinion. Including a few here that say they are custom installers

I have seen yours and a review with a HUGE disclaimer in it
But..again
You do you, as I have said again and again

I quoted what you said, you now added "compared to Audyssey ,YPAO or MCACC".

You asked how MCACC came into play,there you go again and I'll quote you directly:"Arguably the best compared to Audyssey ,YPAO or MCACC"

Yes I agree $1200 is a HUGE disclaimer compared to $199 and even more so $20.
Many have not found it not worth it because of that HUGE disclaimer, I definitely know many that haven't.

Yes..I have often said that Dirac was better than anything the Asian manufacturers had currently
Said that many times..I even added recently that I would put Anthem's ( ARC )on the same level as Dirac
Again..said that many times

Yes I mentioned MCACC...but you never have ?
Then you use a a review with HUGE disclaimer and then that reviewer goes on to say that he prefers DIRAC and then speculates about how picky a buyer would be in the first place
For some reason you didnt mention all of what the reviewer said?

If someone is considering buying something as you have speculated, its a lot more than $199 than they will be spending on an AVR..right?
Where can I buy a $199.00 9.2 AVR?

We have had a few installers here that have said DIRAC is better..one person pointed out all of the issues with Audyssey. My experience agrees with that


There is a ton of information out here comparing
https://www.audiosciencereview.co...ive.29890/

You have yet to show me where Audyseey was preferred over Dirac...
Again..you do you

But the overwhelming idea seems to be in DIRAC favor over the other Asian RC systems
Now that we have DIRAC in products at much lower price points its a new day

Huh? Which are you talking about, how better is Dirac or "buying something", not the same thing!

No one was disputing if Dirac was better or not, I know I wasn't.

I was only giving impression from experience on whether it's "worth" it over other RC's.

I and many others I know are not paying $1200 for that "better" especially when it's similar.

BTW if you go to that link or AVS you can see how that Onkyo/Pioneer AVR measures, not well.

Thats interesting because of all of the posts you made about Audyssey being about the same or better and then using some review to say that a reviewer didnt see much difference?....But that was using a RC that you had never posted anything about before though for some reason....?...

My point to you ..again..is that you are the only person I have seen that said they have experience with both Audyssey and Dirac that say Dirac is not clearly better

Even the reviewer from S&V that you cited said "At the end of the day I preferred Dirac"

But again...you do you

As for measurements..I assume you mean amp/power supply measurements?
I have never said that Onkyo/Pioneer benched well. I have said again and again it seems like a great pre/pro
But to get Dirac standard at that price point I know they had to compromise
For the record no 9.2 AVR in that price range is going to give you stellar bench test ratings.
Its called compromising to get to a price point

"Upgraded" from the PB1000 I got for $350 blemished in July to a blemished PB2000 for $550... Side by side comparison isn't a huge upgrade but the PB2000 digs deeper and makes you feel the bass in your organs moreso than the 1000. I moved the PB1000 to the game room. Resisting the urge to trade up the PB1000 for another PB2000....

SVS auto-refunded me a few weeks after I bought my PB1000... I contacted customer support and they said they dropped the price since I purchased it and retroactively refunded me a portion of my purchase. Never had a company do that before, they made a long-term customer with me.

Once again no one is debating which is better! πŸ™„

BTW that link and AVS also show those Onkyo/Pioneer AVR's do not measure well as pre/pro's either.

Anyways let's get back on topic.

Not surprised the company and their CS is top notch!
Even getting their advice is top notch and honest.
Good service does come at a price, there is no free lunch.

My PB-12 NSD for $439 (same size as PB-2000, 100 watts less) Is the GOAT
Yup that is when I picked up my pb-12!! It was around $420 in 2018, etc w/ the ebay coupon codes. they were $499 MSRP,, Great sub to this day , still kicks! This pb-2000 is over priced at $699 that is why they are not way gone by now and they have had to do the ongoing months long "$599" outlet deal, but if you look dealers are also selling them at $599. might grab an extra one but not sure. One thing that made the pb-12 so much better was to decouple it from my hard wood floors. Never imagined it to make a big difference, But OMG, once I decoupled it , it was like I gained 20% more output and it was like a complete new sub. just remarkable...

Chase Rewards occasionally does a 30% CB at SVS which made me jump on 2 x PB-2000 for about $950 total after CB.
Can you tell me how this works with chase rewards with potential 30% CB? would appreciate it?

If you're looking for a sub and don't want to be spend a ton of time researching just grab a PB2000 and be happy.

Good..as I stated before you are the only one I know that has experience with both that says they prefer Audyssey

BTW...the same source shows the Denon X3800 as " not recommenced"
It did not do well in several tests either
