Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done?

@wyoboy because I’d like to know how well this combination works out in general. This will help all of us learn but also help me understand what methods work for others and not just myself. This helps me make better recommendations.

Like, if it was 90% negative, even if it worked for me, I’d know to avoid suggesting it.

Also, I have an upcoming fully active speaker system I’m building. Knowing any pitfalls from users would be useful even if I think I know what to expect, but if I mention I’m doing that I’d have many people jump in and try to help me design them. I already know the parameters really, so didn’t want to invite that kind of suggestions until after they’re built. At the same time, my major home appliances all reached college age so this project may be later in 2025 than I had hoped for.

Also, it seems, since so many discussions about improving bass usually end up being battle royals about the various ways to apply subwoofers I wanted to see how well users who did not use subwoofers at all do, without having the other, tired arguments about subs.

I wanted to approach the question of getting excellent bass with a fresh approach, making for an interesting thread I hope.

I've been very pleased with the DSP that is integrated into my Weiss DAC.  That plus REW gives me all the control I need - for now anyway.  :)

@hk_fan - Kind of why I like Roon, which has become my only real music source. It has a very flexible and capable digital EQ section.

Erik - agreed!  I think it's very tough to beat a well executed DSP!
