Yes and limited exposure in that order.

I have worked with Audyssey on 4 products and 3 sets of loudspeakers in the upstairs system. It definitely homogenized the sound so that they always sounded more similar than different. The upstairs room is my "normal" room which just means that it is a typical home listening environment with suboptimal acoustics.

My purpose built HT I've only had 1 product with Audyssey and don't have enough experience in that room to comment on it. However; the better the room the less effect Audyssey will have.

As for Lyngdorf's "Room Perfect" I have the AES presentation and I have listened to it once. It did an amazing job in a cavernous space. Good imaging away from the sweet spot; and incredible imaging in the optimized seat. But this is one demo; not any in home experience.

From a theoretical stance; it makes sense. Without more experience with the product in a known environment I can't comment on its efficacy generically.

Best,
