| Room correction room system vs ears…. @kellyp , I use spacers on the absorption panels of my back wall (about 2") and it helped. On my side walls the spacers sucked out too much and found no spacer worked better. I have carpeting and cushy furniture which absorb on their own, other ro... | |
| Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room? @erik_squires , great example of how you dialed in the FR you wanted before chasing gear to get better SQ. Did you use the mic that came with your receiver for your measurements or something else? | |
| Revel F208 - worth a try? @matt_mccloat , I can’t recommend what amp to get, I just want to add that you need to measure with a calibrated mic while placing and setting them up for the in room frequency response you want before splashing cash on a new amp. | |
| Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room? @erik_squires , I checked out your virtual system and we both use Mogami cables, Isoacoustic stands, and maple platforms. We also took care to treat the room and the ceiling, nice. If you are using ARC can you post the before and after of your FR ... | |
| Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room? @mikelavigne , I agree that is a better question, asking if you have the frequency response that you want.

| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen @jhw9 , all speakers have room interaction issues, need proper placement, and can often benefit from DSP. Many active speakers have controls in the back unlike passive speakers, similar to a subs controls only more appropriate for the type of spea... | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen @celtic66 , that is exactly the same thing, the benefits of an active sub apply to active speakers. | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room @ddd1 , the Yamaha HS8 studio monitors has 8 inch drivers, if the OP gets the Paradigm PW Link it has the pre/streamer/ARC etc. No sub out though :) OP, if you look on Agon you might find a pair. | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. remember to watch the video before you buy anything | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. @thomastrouble , dsp is limited in what it can fix. IMO getting a flat frequency response in your room is more important than your components. So, as for room treatment it should be done regardless if you use dsp or not. As for dsp it is to help c... | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. If you can get a preamp with room correction that would be a plus. | |
| Integrated for Streaming OP, does your room have a flat frequency response? Can you post any measurements you have taken? If you don’t know find out before buying anything because you may want to address that first. |
