Archimago first I want to thank you for your work comparing different equipment and samplings and .... I followed it since I'm an early SB user (from SB2) but not anymore now.
There is so much to say on that subject. I will try to summarize. I switched for Acourate for a lot different reasons. First I had the stereo only DRC version of Audiolense. When I wanted to go to Digital XO and I had to made choice between the both A... software. I read everything I could (there are some comparisons, maybe not complete but google Acourate vs Audiolense). I went to Acourate based on some good reports from very knowledgeable people like Mitchco and Bob Katz, both sound engineers. I can't compare directly the XO versions. I think that Audiolense is a very good package, user friendly but a bit too automated. Acourate is more open but with a long learning curve. There is no manual per se but Mitchco wrote some articles and the designer, Uli B., helps a lot via email or via the Yahoo group. Acourate is very powerful, not so friendly and not for a beginner or for somebody who looks for simplicity. But for a guy like you ;), no problem..... The results are very good. This is the best sound I ever had and it is for 4 way with two additional subs and three horns from 250 Hz up.....in a to small room. My friend made the same choice and it uses it just to DRC his commercial Focal speakers with very nice results too. Acourate produces filters in stereo (by channel) wav format perfect for any convolution engine. I use JRiver with 10 channels convolution.
