Professional Calibration Question


I wanted to get your opinion on my plans for calibration. I'm using a professional installer that uses his "ears" to calibrate". My question is: Can I rely on audiophiles that have "golden" ears to calibrate? Or perhaps, am I better off with using the how-to DVD I bought, AVIA Guide to Home Theater?

Calibrating a room by ear IMO is almost impossible. You might be able to get reasonable results from an experienced installer with program material that he recognizes well however, you might ask yourself, if he is a professional installer, why doesn't he have a good spectrum analyzer and test signals? Getting the low end right is very, very difficult.

Heck, I have one by Gold Line specifically for Home Theater that only cost me about $1500.00. Not a bad investment to ensure proper frequency response.
