I can not live without "Room Correction"

I gave room correction a try a while back. I bought a McIntosh MEN220, which I believe uses the Lyngdorf technology. I found that with my digital source, it worked nicely, but it sucked the life out of my analog source. I primarily listen to LP's, so the MEN220 is now gone. I must say that I have done a fair amount of work treating my room, and that is much more sonically satisfying for my taste.

Digitally corrected, fully time/phase coherent speakers in a room with acoustic treatment require minimal digital room correction.

My system uses two DEQX processors in a room with superchunk bass absorbers, speaker first reflection treatment (wall & ceiling) together with rear skyline diffusers. Slight digital eq is necessary only on two remaining wide Q bass peaks.

Hi All, warning I am a Dealer as a matter of fact I have been a Lyngdorf Dealer longer than anyone in the USA.  caution Dealer speaking.

The RP1 was the Original stand alone Room Perfect box. It had balanced and single ended inputs and outputs.   It sold for around $4000 +/- $200,  I just can't recall for sure.  A new basic TDAI 2170 has a current  retail price of $4000 with out any additional input options. It has a great DAC in it that you can use or not use but unlike the RP1 you can go digital into the TDAI 2170 and Digital out into the DAC of your choice feeding the Tube Pre Amp and Power Amp of your Choice.  The Digital out is fixed at 96 K Samples per second.  The Room Perfect would would occur before feeding your gear.  There is a USB input option and for you that have a great turntable there is an upgraded analog input option that digitizes at 192K and is a delightful front end input.

Just saying and I don't think if you used it in that way you would loose any of the Tube Sound you lust after and would gain the stunning benefits of room corrected bass.  There are lots of ways to incorporate a Lyngdorf integrated amp into your system and I would be happy to help if you want to contact me.

Purchased a DSpeaker Anti Mode 2.0 from(made in Finland) several years ago....easy to use, oodle of possible settings.....but I settled on equalizing signals below 200 Hz....with a sub woofer(Velodyne) and Harbeth 40.1's in my large room, the bass is incredibly realistic and natural. I paid about $1000 for this but you might be able to pick up a used one for less

My largish listening room treatment consists of things I own, including a smallish spinet style piano, furniture, books, an oriental carpet, collections of vinyl, CDs, and wax cylinders (actually no cylinders but I tossed them in anyway) and a tall sloping ceiling with side walls far enough away to obviate the dreaded "early reflections" (a great title for a book or music album, or a clothing line made from sheet metal). Also the addition of the remarkably technically advanced Chicken Head knobs on my REL subs to make them easier to turn up or down a little if needed. Chicken Head knobs are far less expensive that DSP gizmos, and add somewhat less pollution to the signal. You do need a small screwdriver for some of them.
