For the analog purist- to room correct or not?

I was wondering if any vinyl head bent on keeping all the qualities found in vinyl playback, would digital or other room correction be found in your system with what's available today?
I took a breif look at what deqx 's website had to say, it sounds like they did alot of homework, is it up to vinyl's transparency?
They speak of high slopes at line level so as to not use crossovers in the speaker. Any thoughts? And also time align with milli seconds delay.

I don't know Peter......I've used older TacT and it sucked with analog. If there is anything on the market that works in that regard.....You and I probably can not afford it. Deqx is OK, but never heard one in analog system though.
I have heard positive comments about Rives which I was interested in......but not any more. Less is more - works for me.

If you can build it and have some fun doing it...yea.
But there is no free lunch. However , you seemed like my kind of a guy .....:) so, if you want to try it let me know.

The ones that I like, cost a fortune.....you know which ones. But I have heard a lot about these bad boys. They might need some work though.
There is a guy who is recommended for restoration of these or other speakers but.......you heard the rest of the story.
But it doesn't hurt to ask.

P.S

I will let you know soon. But it will be something new for me and I can not wait (speakers). Pre and amp RWA Isabella with all the bells and whistles and Sig,30.2 (however I am keeping my Consonance Cyber 800 modded monos). And I want to invest some in room treatments and finish my projects that are on hold for some time now.

Cheers

Magico for $2K-3K.....hahahahaha:)
Not likely but 6K buys similar design, parts in ready product.

I assume that you aren't the big fun of single driver speakers since you haven't mentioned them in potential DIY projects.

Omni....hmmmmm, DIY........hmmmmmm that is going to be a though one. You could probably try to build spiral horn with driver facing up with some kind of cone above the driver to diffuse the sound in 360 degrees. The spiral design will load your floor as well so another cone might work there as well.
Non of this will work...hahahahahaha. I do NOT know ....I am shooting blanks here. But it might work...and if it does .........???? I will be pissed.
