@kota1 I used OmniMic for the speaker analysis, and XSim for crossover simulation.
Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?
The most basic truth of audio for the last 30 years is listeners prefer a flat frequency response. You achieve that through getting the right speakers, in the right position, in the right room, and then use room treatments and DSP to dial it in. If you are posting questions about what gear to buy and have NOT measured your room and dialed it in to achieve a flat frequency response FIRST you are blowing cash not investing cash IMO. Have you measured the frequency response in your room yet and posted it?

@erik_squires , nice job on the attention to detail :) I was using audyssey and it was better than nothing. Then I used the room treatment method that Anthony Grimani discusses in that video I posted earlier and it was infinitely better. Got my MLP setup to the specs laid out by dolby required moving the MLP from the back of the room to the middle of the room. Finally I made the leap to the pro version of Audyssey, got the kit with the calibrated mic and the license upgrades and finally achieved what I wanted. All in it was much less expensive than buying a new processor. |
I am overall pro-DSP, but my experience with Anthem’s Room Correction is that it’s OK. I felt I did better when I EQ’d the room myself. One mistake I made, and for me it was a big one, I assumed Anthem’s ARC would let me use 100% custom EQ curves and that’s absolutely not the case. On the other hand, for a system where you barely have to touch anything I can definitely see the appeal of ARC. I wish I had infinite funds and time to try Dirac as an alternative for instance. |
