    Optimizing my 4 subwoofers

    Are you asking about where to place your subs? If that is the case, Ive found it easier to place the sub in my MLP and using REW and placing the mic in various locations while taking sweeps at those locations. I think is called reciprocity. Else you could use Obsessive Compulsive Audiophile...

I'll run my subwoofer sweeps later. If successful I will run Audyssey to get the remaining speakers (7 bed layer and 4 ATMOS...

    Dirac Live Vs Audyssey manual calibration: which one is better?

    I followed the Audyssey A.R.T. video with two screens. ON one screen I followed the tutorial and on the second screen I performed the work shown on the tutorial. It is a long laborious task, but the results are beautiful to my ears.
