enginedr1960: Thanks for the post. Sounds like a very cool rig. I love the DSPeaker, and was tempted a few times to buy one at audio shows. But I actually have a seemless blend with my subs and it is impossible to point them out as a sound source. Like the Ohms, the music just hangs there in mid-air, as if no speakers were in the room. Lovin' it!
I dio have a Pioneer AVR for watching video (my system is a combo 2-channel & surround setup), whch has the MCACC room EQ feature. Although the AVR is nnot in the signal chain for 2-channel sources, I can easily hear the improvement infrequency balance that MCACC calibration makes when I listen to music through te AVR. But the cost in transparency and other aspects of the sond are too great. Fortunately, my room is pretty good in terms of acoustics, though far from perfect. In fact, I have tone controls on my preamp and rarely use them.
