Maybe if I did an Audyssey Pro calibration it would sound better, but the default lowpass is too steep IMO.
As an FYI, the Dynamic EQ feature is actually already a part of the Dolby TrueHD codec and is on by default with most receivers using that codec. However, it will be helpful for DTS & PCM soundtracks that do not have this feature if you live in an apartment and may be listening at low levels.

I think results will vary from system to system (speakers, amps, room shape etc.). I tried out Audyssey, and I really like how it made my system sound for movie soundtracks. But I am wanting even more flexibility over the MultEQ XT, so I am seriously considering stepping up and going for the Audyssey Pro kit.
Also Dynamic Volume is excellent for those times one is watching a high def program on Satellite or cable when the program goes into commercial and not having to scramble for the remote to lower the volume. I see this as a major plus.
