Is DEQX a game changer?

Stereophile doesnt do reviews guys, they do equipment narratives.

Bifwynne, just read your 2nd post and reponding. Thank you for the compliment. The speakers are hybrid electrostatics, with 10 inch aluminum drivers in a transmisssion line enclosure on the botton of the stat panel. I crossover at 172 Hz, with a 48 dB/octave slopes, Linkwitz-Riley filter. Each (both panels and both woofers) are fed by a pair of Magtehs. There was minor fusing with the bass signal to line it up with panel to get a purely seamless 3 demensional sound.

DEQX 'corrects' time allignment on speakers. I would rather find speakers who time allign correctly from the get go, rather than adding a unit, cables, etc. The shortest distace to good sound is a shorter, streight line.

Bifwynne,

I totally agree with you. The problem is passive crossovers. This is why I went with hybrid stats and an active crossover. I do believe the way to eliminate the time allignment issue (not talking about the sloped baffle issue, which I am familiar and have been discussing for 30 years...) is an active crossover (or single driver, obviously). In any event, I do feel the DEQX is just an attempt of a solution for an already flawed system. Remember, time allignment is not the only problem. Impedence is the issue as well. Your amp sees your speakers crossover, not your speaker.

Goldmond did that as well, but they were one of the best sounds I ever heard coming from a box speaker in my life.  Mechanical coupling.  That is how they achieved linear bass.  Seems to be the key to that uber sound.  The non-linear bass just smears everything in the midrange just a tad.  Linear bass and incredible things happen.

I have recently discovered linear bass is the single most important thing in my system (to me, to my ears).  Now, it is amazing to listen to.  I am under the impression that DEQX gives you linear bass.  Cannot underestimate linear bass.  

Sorry I didn't respond earlier.  Linear bass is clean bass.  Its bass that doesn't smudge the sounds next to them.  A 24 hz signal played loud can't have any effect on the rest of the music, and it usually does.  You need to eliminate that.
