Room correcting subwoofer for music?

Bob- the MCS1 looks very similiar to the Ergo but I am not familiar with their room correction software. The thing about the Ergo and it's Lyngdorf system is that TacT and a few other well known "audiophile" brands have adopted it already and there is a lot to be read.

The only thing I could see being an issue with the Ergo is the fact that firewire is required for setup. You don't need it after you calibrate but there is no way around it initially. I use a MAC mini and prefer firewire as the dac interface so this isn't a problem for me but firewire does seem to be getting a little less commmon these days.

Based on a conversation some time ago with the tech guys at Lyngdorf, the TacT and Lyngdorf systems differ significantly from each other:

TacT is a more traditional DRC that measures output with a mic and EQs the input to produce a corrected flat (or a "target" curve) result. Speaker FR deviations and room FR deviations are both EQ'd.

Lyngdorf is designed to look for room induced anaomalies only. I never got a specific explanation of how the algorythms make the determination, but Lyndorf is supposed to correct to the speaker's "native response" rather than flat or targeted.

Since Tact sells direct and Lygdorf has only a handful of dealers, it's hard to hear either, much less compare the two. But it would be great to get some feedback on these two DRC systems.
