My room that is designed for a family of 4
The Room Acoustics were done a HAA engineer
Ive just recently purchased a Pronto 9800 to replace my 9600 and I was suprised be the size between the two
I finally got around purchasing the SVS AS-EQ1 and had to muck around a bit in getting my setup right. I moved the right sub from the front wall to the side and then back to the front. Ive then moved my chairs slightly forward which made a difference in my results and still allowing to keep my subs at the front.
Ive had some say these Sub EQ units dont mean a thing and some say its all rubbish. I then approached Audyssey about this and this is his response:
Quote:
Not sure who this "respected" member is, but perhaps they need to bone up on linear system theory a little. The plots shown are 1/3 octave smoothed. They are not at all theoretical. Linear system theory tells us that the measured response multiplied by the correction filter gives us the "after" response. That means: if you were to spend time to re-measure in each exact location you used for calibration and then combined the multiple measurements you would get the exact "after" curve shown in the graphs. We could double the time it takes to calibrate by having you put the mic in the same locations and re-measure after MultEQ has calculated its filters. But what would be the point? You would end up with the same graphs. That's the beauty of linear systems.
The problem is that most people are used to thinking simplistically of single point before and after measurements. But, when you have multipoint measurements you have to combine them to represent what has been measured in the listening area. The core of the Audyssey algorithms is in the method for combining the measurements and that makes it difficult to get the same results using a third party mic and software. Calibrating with one method and measuring with another is a good way to get results that don't match.

This room is designed for one purpose only, for my family of 4.
These are the Sonance Virtuoso 834DR speakers. There used as surround speakers. Why I chose them because of the Berylluim speakers which match my Focals and also because the Pivot.
I use Focal IW profile 908 speakers for surround back which do a sensational job.
All my components are connected using Kordz Master series. The Hdmi to my Projector is an Audioquest Cinema Quest HDMI X
Awhile back I ended up installing a dedicated 32AMP switch in my HT room which is soley for the Furman. The Furman powers both Fathoms 112 and the Denon POA A1HD.
