Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars
Just thought of something while perusing the chats, and finding yet another "help me, I bought a subwoofer and it sounds bad" threads.
You know what we rarely if ever see? "Help me, I used ARC to set up my subwoofer and it sounds bad."
I think this is a strong testament to how effective these systems are to integrating a sub into an existing system, and why I'm no longer trying to help others improve as much as pointing them towards ARC as better options.
While ARC does a lot more than subwoofer integration, I think we have to admit that for most it's pretty much been a panacea.
