Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
I don't know the DEQ2496 but the Feedback Destroyer Pro took me a while to figure out. The PEQ gain and frequncy settings were obvious but the Q filter widths....well I had to use a calculator to work out what it all meant in terms of Hz so that I...

Best low cost speaker cables for my system?
Great choice of components. I really like your system. IMHO you might consider to devote the money to a beefier amp with higher damping factor and just go for ordinary speaker cables (wire from the hardware store) ... your speakers can probably ha... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Does the DEQ2496 have an expander? This might interest me given that most CD's are intentionally mastered with 1 to 3 db of added compression compared to the studio mix. Unfortunately a lot more compression is often used (especially on rock) to ac...

Audio Physic Virgo III break in time?
There might be material applied to the inside of the mid range cones in order to dampen them. Hard material cones (ceramic and metallic) have a greater tendency to ring like a bell (=distortion) than fibrous paper cones or fabrics . Paper and fabr... 
Speaker Channel Burn-In
Offset tweeter and mid is mainly to reduce edge diffraction so that power distribution remains even. Most manufacturers do not specify a left or right (even when tweeter or mid is offset). 
Caps as high-pass filters
Adjusting the filter between sub and speakers can make small differences and improve the match. Most DSP amps will allow you to do this. (Filter slopes are typically between 24 db/octave and 12 db/octave.) However, adding a capacitor in order to m... 
Mixed Results from My Hifi
The albums you name sound best in a car but they should still sound very good on your system; they will sound slightly boosted in the mid range and overly compressed. As with many CD's lately, they have been mastered to sound loud (meaning somewha...
