Digital Room Correction For Speakers

i tried Room EQ with just my laptop mic in test mode... i thought it worked great. Somebody else posted that the difference in the corrected sound is that it is not forward nor fatiguing at all... really nice with no annoying humps... uncorrected it is like the speakers are saying 'hey, notice me!'... I actually like it both ways depending on loudness.. but if wanna turn the dial to the right, Room EQ is very good and works as a Plugin with Audirvana.

I think your spell checker was correcting Roon and replacing it with room? I know I’m a Neanderthal besides being smart phone stupid I had my roon nucleus for 6 months b4 I stumbled into the DSP eq in the program. First time I used it the warning light turned yellow and started blinking. Oh well 

The best out there right now is the Trinnov Amethyst. It will do everything for you including bass and sub woofer management. It uses a very special microphone to calibrate the system and it does so from various points in the room. I have been using digital room control since Radomir Bozevic, "Boz" dropped TACT Audio on the world. Lyngdorf was his financial partner at the time. Boz was the brains and the reason TACT failed. Anyway, a system with an ultra high def room control processor will put an identical system without to shame. Controlling over all frequency response is just one small part of it. Making the response of the speakers identical at the listening position probably the most important part of it. Your brain locates a sound by relative volume an time differences between your ears. if some frequencies are louder from one speaker than the other you smear the image. The most important benefit of room control is razor sharp imaging. Being able to equalize the sound to your taste is nice but the imaging is amazing. You still have to do basic things to your room like kill the primary reflections. Is there a down side? Yes. The top notch systems are expensive. The Amethyst is $11,000.

Thanks for your reply in regard to digital room correction. I went with the DSpeaker X4 and am very happy with how it takes care of my slight bass hump around 150 to 200 hz. I do not use sub-woofers so could you please tell me what Amethyst brings to the table.  The X4 was only $3750.00 on sale and greatly improves the sound when I care to use it.  Thanks for your feed-back.

@lewinskih01 Would you mind giving examples of the following components you use for Acourate file creation?

You need a mic and and mic pre, and analog to digital conversion

I am about to take the plunge in with the Acourate software. I got the following book to lead me through it. I do not have a mic, mic pre and an ADC.
