D'Appolito on What Matters

Rumor had it that many suppliers were irked that he sent so many things back.

The last time I spoke with him, he was very excited about going to an all digital self powered multi-amped model. He was holding out for better chips. He said the amount of labor time would drop dramatically,  and though the initial project would be expensive, he thought that the cost of succeeding models would drop at a considerably fast rate. Regretfully, he didn't live long enough to see it to completion.

Sorry to hear that. I was actually just thinking that. It's super convenient to match two speakers via DSP. I wonder how much of the benefit of things like DiracLive or Audessey comes just from matching speaker frequency response hyper-accurately.
