Parametric Equalizer and Timbre Matching???

I just bought a new Yamaha RXV 2400 that has individual parametric equalization for each channel. The issues with timbre matching the front speakers R50's and a CSi5 I am thinking should not be a big a deal now with this feature. I will not be setting the new system up for a few weeks but was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this individual speaker/channel equalization and if better matches speakers that are not from the same series.
Thanks

    I got the 2400 not too long ago and the YAPO works pretty well IMO. The CSi5 and the R50s have a much different sound to me though. My setup is Csi3, RTi70s, Rti100s (rear), and still looking for decent surrounds. The YAPO set them all up within 2 Db of each other. As always let your ears be the judge.

    Do you think the 2400 could reduce some of the brightness the CSi's have when compared to the R series or do you think I could manually do this with the receiver with some success. I will eventually get a pair of RTi fronts but I was hoping this would take care of some of the problem. You are right they do have quite a different sound but I am also thinking with mostly mids and dialogue etc coming from the center that I will be able to live with it for a year.
    Thanks

    I think the 2400 should be able to do that. Also, the 5 will settle down after time. Or at least that is what happened with my 3. Check out this thread if you want to use your computer to config the 2400, it works really well.
