Analog challenged by room, space and esthetics.

Hello, my system is all analog, except my 2 REL #25, one in the front one in the back, and only have 0-180 phase. I would like to time align them and see if I can get some of the dips and bumps smoothed out.

the room is a living room and I do not want to overwhelm it with acoustic treatment.


If at all possible I want to keep the speakers out off the processor, but if I cant get where I want, I would consider getting them through the processor.


What would you recommend I use, I would prefer to buy something that matches the sound quality of my system TechDas Air Force III Premium, Pathos Heritage, Manley Lab Steelhead, Tannoy Canterbury, but at the same time not spend a fortune if I end up not liking it.

I am not going to buy new Subs, I have them in my home in Spain and love them. I listened the mini dsp Flex and was not very impressed with the sound; in my ears it sounded not transparent, muted and very tight.

What would you recommend as the next best DSP engine?

My budget is around $1500-$2000

Thank you for your thoughts.

@astolfor  Wait, did you use them for just the subwoofer (like me) or in the main path?

You want the miniDSP 2x4 HD.  However I have to tell you that the sound quality is going to be entirely on your set up.  Don't go for flat.  Go for the subs to descend about 1.25 to 1.5 db/Octave from 16 Hz down to 80.

Consider as a minimum GIK corner traps from floor to ceiling in the front corners. 

If you won't do that, then your best bet is to focus on what you can clip, and getting the tilt right while ignoring nulls.

Lastly, measure the frequency response from 3 places at least.
