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?

Incredible strides have been made and the trajectory continues.

Subwoofer Optimization aside, if one's system has been seriously assembled with speakers optimally positioned for the playback of a substantial collection of pre digitally mastered vinyl the difference in analog and current digital processed playback can be quit noticeable for some.

Considering the user's age in this scenario, the 2008 Universal Studios fire and the undeniable convinces and enjoyment of streaming the gap must be narrowing by the minute.

In this hobby if you've never heard it done you won't be missing a thing. A testament to the 2024 San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art 'The Art of Noise' that analog playback's trajectory continues.  

 

@asvjerry ....for better or worse, the former in my realm, been DSP since '80's.
It's allow me to tame rooms that audio may have had no business in...
I've thought over a DBA arrangement that I've inherited a sub-eq that 'onceupona' was mated partially to my amts'..... 😎👍

I have always been astonished by DSP systems before and after demonstrations in a as you say, 'no business in' rooms at audio shows. Autonomous system setup for the newly baptized, terrific. My Velodyne Plus subs have been pulling that same trick off since 2011. Amazing.  

Back at the show the next room I sit down in, lets say the Zesto room. The total analog-ness is like a dose of Dilaudid. My neck and shoulders slump into that fatigue-less bliss. What is that?  

We're in our retirement home. One word, 'ranch' style. You take care.
