In the price range we're playing any speaker is going to need room treatments and anyone with experience will tell you the least amount of electronic room correction needed the better the results will be. I'm in the same boat as you(or similar) with a room that has too much support in the mid bass region and not enough in the low bass. I'm working with a shop to balance thinks out with treatments. |
When I couldn’t get decent bass from my revel salon2’s I knew my room was a stinker and the experts said the only solution was multiple subs to eliminate the nulls. What about ARC?
I gave up on conventional speakers and bought a pair of DSP8000’s and it works so digital room correction should work for you |
Contuzzi, I believe you because trial and error showed me that every full range speaker I tried performs the same in the low fq’s. I found the old r107’s that vented all the bass out the top did better and now an active pair with side firing woofers does a manageable job.
DSP in Roon? Mine offers 5 bands of adjustable equalization on a slide so I slide a point that I want to tweak and select up or down. Samar might be able to use it to reduce the mid bass hump he’s been fighting with? |
on the bottom right corner theres a volume and dsp setting I push the dsp and it brings me to the screen where I can select, name and save settings. I'm out for now but will ck back. |
Does your version of Roon have the feature I suggested? tbh I just noticed it this weekend and I bought the nucleus over 6 mos ago...now that i've found this feature i'm begining to think I should have bought the N+ instead of the base model. |
Yes, you asked where the DSP processing was located on the screen and I’m asking if you found it.
I expect it could look different depending on the screen or format where it is actually located. On mine it’s next to the volume.

I’m using an iPad to control a Roon nucleus and on the bottom right corner is a volume control when I press it i get a dsp and settings symbol and pressing that symbol gets me to the menu screen for a 5 band eq. I know boosting fq’s with equalization is asking for trouble but there’s dsp programs becoming standard and experimenting with lowering bass at 100 hz wherever your mic is telling you to won’t hurt and can easily be undone
|
Audioconnection let me understand what you posted. Don’t use dsp but instead sell your speakers and buy vandys with built in adjustable subs instead? I think the music loudspeakers pretty much walk all over anything out there once dialed in

I’m partial to va but let the pair on ag selling for $10k get away. |
Hows the DSP in Roon working out for you? Mine is v1 #174
|
Sorry, the only one I’ve played with is the one in Roon and honestly these last speakers have been easy to place. |
|
Case closed! congrats. The only way I would have suggested yo sell those speakers is if we were neighbors and I could have taken them off your hands for you. |
I think your spell checker was correcting Roon and replacing it with room? I know I’m a Neanderthal besides being smart phone stupid I had my roon nucleus for 6 months b4 I stumbled into the DSP eq in the program. First time I used it the warning light turned yellow and started blinking. Oh well
