In this video, I talk about how and why room correction software like Audyssey seemingly destroys your bass after you run it, why using a house curve may be something you want to consider and also when to maybe not use one. Also, I touch on using Audyssey's DynamicEQ instead of house curve, and also why using DynamicEQ on top of a house curve is a bad idea.
