@Almarg: Before my session with Larry, I was asked to put my speakers on castors, so we could take individual sound readings of each speaker placed in the middle of the room. Didn’t happen, Just took a reading of the listening position, with each speaker in their normal place in relation to the listening position. I was also led to believe I would have to gain access to each of the internal crossovers to achieve the time alignment. Didn’t happen. I should mention my best friend passed unexpectedly the day before my session and my head just wasn’t in it, Larry spent a lot of time setting up my deqx, but didn’t go through many of the steps I thought he would. |
Sincere condolences on the loss of your friend, Steve. Not moving the speakers to the center of the room for the speaker calibration measurements certainly figures to be a reason the PreMate didn’t provide much improvement. I had pointed out on 9-5-2018 in the DEQX thread you had started that might be an issue given the 410 pound weight of your speakers. Again, my condolences. Best regards, -- Al |
handymann, That experience is discouraging. I was considering a DEQX for a 2 channel area but don't have the time, patience or expertise to do it on my own. I just installed a Lyngdorf MP-50 (with RoomPerfect) 16 channel processor in my dedicated and treated theater and am very happy with the improvement over my Marantz-8802A. For a separate 2 channel system, I was thinking about the Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 integrated for RoomPerfect and am intrigued by the HDP-5. They are in the same ballpark cost-wise and I have amps to use with the HDP-5. Without (dedicated) support the HDP-5 is probably not a good option for me. |
