Another fantastic feature of XT32 is Dynamic EQ, not everybody wants to listen to their movies at reference level however, when the volume is lowered the drama and surround sound experience may be lost. Dynamic EQ combats this by adjusting levels to ensure that you hear the full experience of the blockbuster movie at any volume.

This is especially useful if you listen to a lot of your music in stereo as you can simply select the Audyssey preset for hifi listening and back to surround sound when you want to watch a movie.
