Room correction room system vs ears….

Hey guys, just do I don’t seem unappreciative…..flew back to Brazil last week, takes 30 hours from door to door and was completely bogged down with work when I got there and one week later I’ve made to same trip back to the US…..haven’t been on emails for a week and just opened this - wow, a lot of talk in the last week. Gonna read as much as I can tonight as I just landed a couple of hours ago.

Thanks a lot guys!

Holmz, I wish I could answer that but I’m pretty clueless - I don’t know what both concepts mean. I’m far from savvy on these things and saw a room correction ruin as something of a magic wand that “just fixed things”. Regarding using the subwoofer - I know I’m going to have to deal with taming bass reflections and my knowledge, based on common sense is I’ll have to lay a large carpet on the wooden floor, install bass traps and possibly install curtain rails and heavy curtains on all four walls that I can open or close gradually based on trial and error. Soft furnishings are going to help also, but then again this is all about bass….I’m still wondering what a room correction system will get me beyond that.

You guys are pretty hard core serious from what I’m reading here - I’m too, too busy, too old and not “audiophile” enough to go to those lengths Plus, I know I’ll never be 100% happy because I’m dealing with the limitations of living in an apartment. 
I got hooked years ago when I bought some Magnapans and great amps, I was completely blown away - it was like I had just heard music for the first time but I’ll never come close to that experience again and I know that, I’ll just be content to get the best out of my apartment system, accept lower volume levels and not be wrecking my brain in the process.

I have no doubt you guys would think nothing about spending a grand on a room correction system and I wouldn’t have a problem neither of it was a “big” hobby for me but it’s not these days, it’s more about not just throwing together about $10,000 worth of gear and getting $2000 benefit from it when maybe something like a room correction system could make that difference.

Maybe consider something like a TDAI 3400 or 1120 amp, which comes with a microphone and tunes itself up.

And there are probably cheaper options from NAD and others.

… going slow is often wise.

I go for ears.

My room modes computer doesn't like my music.

My Ears told me something was wrong. Room treatment helped but something was off. Measured and sure enough 2 big humps causing over done bass. Used Roon DSP convolution filter to fix those humps and wow.   Keep it simple and room correction is great.
