I bought a used Cary 11a because of its audio quality. As you probably know from reading the 11a/v thread at AVS, the room correction on the chip Cary uses has been a major source of complaint. My 11a manual recommends a tape measure and SPL meter. Cary does provide for manual equalization. I use a Velodyne SMS-1 to manage my pair of HGS-15s. I think the LF region covered by the subs is the most critical for room correction, but if I find a used Aydessey (sp?) with XLR at a reasonable price I'll add it to my system.
