Something that is not even available yet will have it's flaws so we can't ever say it's better before it's actually released and used...

Can you do 4 independent subs and mix those to the mains, there is a little magic to ARC it blends in the mains like I've never seen.

Again, I said I validate I'm in the ballpark and flat doesn't mean better and I have heard many great systems and configurations as I've...

Not really sure what phase matching are you referring to. DLBC definitely aligns all speakers and subs. Audy does not, but one can...

Not my first rodeo, I'm not suffering from a confirmation bias as I have heard soo many systems and soo many configurations I know what...
