I don't have the luxury of a dedicated listening room and, therefore, have significant challenges dealing with a well furnished living room. I use the Behringer DEQ2496 with the microphone to balance for my listening position. I've tried other methods but this approach allowed an improvement that even I was able to hear and I'm not very good at detecting subtle changes. I can't comment on phase issues associated with its installation but assume that it will cause some shifting. The bottom line is, save for well chosen upgrades of other components in the audio stream, that it may be the best choice I've made to improve listening enjoyment.
Room correction - what device works best?
Looking at room correction and all the threads I found seem old. What are the current options for excellent 2 channel sound. Comments on DSpeaker, Lyndorf, DEQX, Audessy, Rives and others welcome. I have option for using in digital domain or putting between pre and amps. Would of course prefer great sound at lower price. Also prefer something that does not take a year of obsessive fiddling to get right. Have a very large family room, so room treatment options limited. Current system is Ayon Cd5s (transport, DAC and pre combined), Nuforce Ref 20 mono amps and Von Schweikert VR55 speakers. Is most of the bang for buck in correcting for room modes or is speaker phase issues also necessary? Eventually in may have subs but not now.
