In this video, I take a look at the Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset modes found on Denon, Marantz and basically any other receivers that have Audyssey Room Correction built in. The question is, do these various settings actually make your sound better or worse? Well, I put that to the test and verify what Dynamic EQ is actually doing to your sound and speakers using REW measurements. If you enjoyed this video, be sure to like and subscribe!
