How much am I really losing in sound quality when I'm using a Denon X1700H which has a mid-range compensation dip that can't be disabled?

Hello everybody!

I'm thinking about upgrading and thinking about my home theater experience in general. I don't even have surround sound yet, I have a 3.0 system. But this got me thinking after having seen it being mentioned elsewhere.

Is the Denon X3800H the minimum I have to buy in order to have the ability to disable the mid-range compensation dip in the 2khz range?

It seems that this particular AVR would be my best option because I also don't want to switch to a different brand that doesn't use Audyssey, then I'm afraid I'll lose the Dynamic EQ option, which I find highly enjoyable and useful because I'm almost never listening at reference volume levels.

Happy to hear your thoughts on this matter, and if you have been through this before or have any personal experience to share!
