I have not spent much time with it yet - just did a quick setup to my living room theatre system, which is in the most, shall we say, "acoustically challenging" room I could think of. Square except for a massive opening on one side of the room, hardwood floors around the perimeter, etc. Unfortunately the XP thought my bass response was SO poor that it massively overcorrected for it, so much that I could not even have a good listen to anything else that was going on because the sound was drowned out by booming bass. I have not tried using the PC-based tools yet to tune the curve, but I think this room is just hopeless and it's not even a fair test of the XP, since my bass drivers definitely are underpowered for the size of the room. Still, I think it would be reasonable for the XP not to apply frequency response correction way beyond what the speakers are physically capable of - it would have been nice to be able to hear the finer improvements in phase correction, echo cancellation and such without having to manually get in and fix the curve. I will try it in some more reasonable setups, but I bought the digital-only version which means I will have to shuffle around some equipment in order to set it up. FWIW the thing is very sensitive. After I ran the calibration I realized that my guitar sitting in the corner of the room was resonating. I removed the guitar, ran the calibration again and the whole system sounded quite different. So it's doing _something_, just hard to say what at this point! -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25812 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
