No WAF issues here. My music room is dedicated...my cave. It is 15.25 x 23 x 10 and like most medium-to-large rooms needs treatments. My only issue with RC (I had a DEQX) is that it tends to want to tackle lf frequency dips (nulls) by trying to fill them in. That's a no-no IMO, and usually a black hole that ends up mucking up headroom/dynamics and decay/ringing. If RC is used to fix lf peaks (and is very useful at doing that for multiple locations), then I'm onboard. -- ted_b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ted_b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38106 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
