I have done speaker calibration with the Sony. It does have EQ abilities but I haven't found any reason to mess with them. As for the A2 I do have a Avia disk I can run through it to test the calibration, but as said before have had no real reason to think I need to. Maybe some boring day this summer. The A2 is in my living room which is NOT the best place for a home theater experience, with speaker placement a challenge and the HDTV in a corner of a space that bends 23 degrees in the middle.
