Its always best to do it manually using an spl meter, but for a non hometheater/concerning customer audyssey works fine, i always find my self manually tuning the sub woofer though......
Audyssey is doing WAYYYYYYY MORE than just setting speaker levels. Have you been to any of the Denon CI trainings or Audyssey demo's/trainings at Cedia? if not, be sure to the next time you get a chance.
We use Audyssey all the time and then fine tune via SPL and Ear via demo's.
We've extened the mic and haven't had issues. Try it, if it doesn't sound good, don't use it or tweak it.
OR better yet, sell the higher in models and the Audyssey pro license and do a pro calibration where you end up with something like 100' or 150' of cable.
