Digital Room Correction For Speakers

Thanks SOIX2:

I appreciate your feedback and have been talking to Underwood Hifi and will most likely go with room EQ. My only fear with EQ is that it might take away the good sound and not only the bass. Do you use any room EQ?

Thanks,
Sam

@samgar2 -- Not right now.  My system is in a basement on a concrete slab, and in that room I'm not feeling much need for it.  But every system I've heard EQ in, it produced significant improvements that far outweighed any downside.  Given what you're describing I think there's a good chance you're going to like what you hear.  Most good EQ systems don't do much to frequencies that already measure flat but rather attenuate the ones that are overdone.  

MHO...OK, my preferences....I've been running 'active room eq' for nearly two decades now.  I prefer to 'run the space flat' since I've never had, nor wish for, a 'dedicated listening space', 'man cave', or the like.  Doesn't really fit my/our 'lifestyle', of which music is a semi-daily sort of thing.

You can't substantially change the room.  You can stuff various 'n sundry about, absorbing this or that.  But you're still in the same space with the same dimensions, same fundamentals and harmonics.

If one gets religious about it, one can take the calibrated mike, run samples of multiple points within the space, & average it out.  It may sound a tad odd for awhile, but after awhile one gets the point that you're getting to hear the music rather than the room and/or the equipment.

Works for me, anyway.  We'll all do what scratches the itch, after all. *G* ;)

I wonder why no one ever talks about master setting speakers.  If you own a piano, I am sure you would want to tune it.
