You can probably do the speaker setup better yourself but many members like the results the automatic room eq programs come up with. Personally, I have to make minor adjustments to those as well but they are a good starting point. Audyssey uses up to 8 mic positions but Pioneer's MCACC just uses one (by design). That's why the Advanced Version of MCACC has 6 seperate equilizers. So you can place the mic in six seperate seating positions and run the program six times. Change your seat and you change the MCACC preset. But I use my presets in a different manner since like Jim, I'm always in the sweet spot. I don't have a tripod either. I tape the mic to the bottom of an old Rayovac flashlight and stand it up-right on a box or something . But hey, it works (sort of .
