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.

WOW!   A pair of No.25's AND the rest.

That certainly isn't an entry level setup. 

Room aesthetic is a big factor for me also, since I don't have a dedicated room.

For that reason, and simple ear tuning put both subs(old REL B3's)  behind the listening sofa  near the corners of the room roughly equidistant to the main speakers in the front. Acceptable SQ  without having to  see more unsightly boxes cluttering the view. Probably a mess if it were graphed via mic/software.

I bet it sounds great regardless of the bass concerns.
