Digital Room Correction For Speakers


Any suggestions for a digital room correction device which is easy to use. Or is it better to buy a pair of speakers which has the system built in such as Vandersteen. Any feed back is appreciated.

Thanks for the tip on X4. I use the Anti-Mode 2.0 with very good results. Arc2 also make wonders for my desk-top systems. Older Lyngdorf makes too much bass in my opinion but have usable standard eq curves. The new Lyngdorf amp 3400 as Anti-Mode offer in addition to automatic dsd also manual settings which you need. Will soon start to use Dirac Live. Lots of audiophiles unnecessarily afraid of active room correction. Just measure you room and be shooked :-) Naturally you should do what you can with your room and listening position in the first. Mickey Mouse - why? Not very proffessional. We all know there are more expensive and even better products.
One thing I believe is that active room correction actually means different speakers can compete in the same room on a more even basis. You hear that the difference between speakers after correction is actually less than before, which means the room interaction on different speaker accounts for the main difference in sound. You can now concentrate on dynamics, resolution, tonal qualities, edgeness etc that is left.
The Anti-mode 2.0 can. Surely also the X4. But the 2.0 has enough possibilities to make you occupied until summer! What the 2.0 miss and the X4 has is a xo bass management system. I use a Lyngdorf RP-1 or 2200 amp for this.
