Im tending to think it gives an almost lifeless compressed sound to mine too, evident in some music Ive been listening to. I have it off for now, will mess with it in the future when Im bored.

Audyssey on for me.
I've found some of my music to sound lifeless as well... I hand't thought it might be the Audyssey. I'll try those discs agin with it off.
Side note, the best recording I've lisetened to on my system so far (I don't listen to much music on it) was Bobs and Lolo: Sea Notes. They are a childrens band and I put them on to keep the kids happy whle the wife napped... I was SHOCKED!
Like, dayum Bobs! Holy Crap Lolo! Nice work!

It's actually really easy to mess up the Audyssey calibrations. You really do have to follow the FAQ (available on AVS) to the letter! Also, as I mentioned, I don't bother with Audyssey unless it's XT. 2EQ and plain ol' MultEQ doesn't have enough filters to make me happy.

I have mine set to on for the most part but I do turn it off for some listening in pure stereo mode for that old school sound.
I suspect some of the differing answers between on and off might have to do with the rooms themselves and Audyssey could very well be sucking the life out of the sound while trying to tame some bad nulls/highs in the respective rooms. If this is the case then leaving this feature off would make for a better sounding system.

I suspected this is my case. It's only been tried in my original 'Mark sized' room... square. Also 1 concrete half wall with a hard surface floor over concrete. It probably toned it into nothingness.

I don't know if you're interested in EQ in general, or specifically Audyssey,... but I use Trinnov EQ and I love it.
