What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers


This seems to be a popular trend with many speaker brands. Some have internal amplification with DSP's and some have external implementations of it like Legacy. I have heard some good results with it being used but don't necessarily like the idea of everything being digitized for the sake of room/bass correction. Do you own or plan on buying a speaker like this, or have you heard any using it?

Ah yes people allergic to DSP who expect bass integration in room to be a magical thing to do... Y’all are not ready to send your already good system to the next level. Don’t conflate terrible DSP implementation (which from the comments seem to be the case with the lot of you) with actually integrated and well used DSP. So yeah DSP is actually what to do when you have the speaker/room/treatment coupling achieved. Anyone who says otherwise, I say, skill issue.

@speed121 they're one of the best speakers I've heard so far and I've heard many. I have a friend who has a mastering studio and he uses the 8C there and has a pair with some PSA subwoofers for his TV/personal music space 

 

They're incredibly effortless with presentation, tangible elements in a mix are just laid bare in all its beauty. Gives you the truth as is which I adore 

@atp001  it is impossible to have the perfect room but it is possible to get as close as you can. And that is done with targeted treatment. Using treatment you'd need and not just placing them anywhere in the room. Good speaker/room coupling with SBIR effects taken into consideration, subwoofer integration where necessary and then top that with good and sound DSP implementation and you have as perfect of a space for audio as possible
