    Will a different center speaker help?

    As a complete shot in the dark, try setting the center channel at +3 dB relative to L/R. See if that makes it better, or if that makes it worse. +1 agree, very worthwhile to check

    Audyssey-like Dynamic EQ without an AVR?

    Nice! Here https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DEQ2496--behringer-ultracurve-pro-deq2496 it does mention "Dynamically-activated EQ" which sounds intriguing. From the manual: That looks good indeed. Didn't measure that well, but it really does have exactly the functionality I was...

    Who would buy a speaker without listening to it?

    Nice of them to set up such a room. I'm thinking, if seated right in the middle of the room, I suppose the listener may be pretty close to a strong room mode, and may encounter some serious nulls or peaks in that position. Doesn't really matter when comparing two speakers to one another, I...

    Behringer DEQ2496 Ultracurve Pro DSP Review

    Qudelix 5k is pretty close. Balanced, 10 bands, parametric (though no decimal points for frequency). Maximum Q of 7. Unfortunately, both channels are EQd together. Works across Windows/Linux/Mac as a Chrome extension, alternatively you could do the one-time setup with Android or iOS over...

    Qudelix 5k as input for 8010?

    You said "distortion" but I'm assuming you are hearing general noise, even when not playing any sounds? If so, you may be experiencing a ground loop. In my setup, I had a similar issue, and the noise also went away when playing over BT from battery (but it got worse for me when powering from a...

    Qudelix 5k as input for 8010?

    Ah, of course :facepalm: happy to be corrected. Should have read more carefully. Thank you! That would mean, in my current setup, which is: laptop (class I grounded) -> Qudelix 5k over USB -> a set of class I monitors, I can safely let the ground float when using a balanced connection. All of...

    Qudelix 5k as input for 8010?

    As I understand it, floating the ground with 2.5mm balanced to 2xXLR cable, as the OP wants to do, would be safe on the 8010 but not so safe on the iLoud MTM, when the Qudelix is charging. By the way they sell a cable that also does have the ground connection separately which goes into the...

    Here they are overlaid (sorry for the mess) for an overview of the Dynamic EQ, one line per preset in 5dB steps.

    Audyssey-like Dynamic EQ without an AVR?

    If anyone stumbles into this and is considering the Qudelix 5k for Dynamic EQ (increase bass relatively as you decrease volume) and room correction in combination with active speakers, I can recommend it. My setup and settings are the following: Input interface: USB or bluetooth, either works...

    Audyssey-like Dynamic EQ without an AVR?

    Someone's measurement of Dynamic EQ curves on a Denon (source https://www.avsforum.com/threads/set-dynamic-volume-and-dynamic-eq-to-on-or-off.3206488/#post-60865494): I've been perusing the Qudelix app which allows you to browse it without connected device. I've tried the one on iOS and also...

    I would not expect anything less :) but if luck has it that it turns out ok, I'll happily send one to amirm for measurement.

    Audyssey-like Dynamic EQ without an AVR?

    That is the most important :) thank you for the advice above, will do. I'm waiting for the Qudelix 5K to come, and also bought this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001520157389.html for $15 shipped to try. My PC has a stereo line-in, I suppose I should be able to measure the response by of...

    Audyssey-like Dynamic EQ without an AVR?

    This is obviously not my area, but.. suppose target is 90db, and we: measured L=96db, R=91db. Combines to about 96db. So in this case, I need -6db. measured L=89d, R=84db. Combines to 89db. In this case, I need +1db So in the above chart, below 0db will ± follow larger correction, and above...

    Audyssey-like Dynamic EQ without an AVR?

    Regarding EQ, I took your advice to try to replicate the results from Audyssey. These are per-channel but I need to average them out to a single setting for both channels to import into my EQ. Here's the photo of L and R from Audyssey, layered over top of one another with some grid added for...

    Audyssey-like Dynamic EQ without an AVR?

    Unfortunately no loudness function, although maybe it could be programmed - hard to say. For 400 EUR speakers, these are quite expensive too.

    Ah :facepalm: thank you - now I know what I'm searching for! Some small device that has loudness knob of this sort. I'll go through the thread and take a look at what's out there. This is super helpful! I've been running the AVR without a screen, I don't think I'd discover this if you hadn't...

    Audyssey-like Dynamic EQ without an AVR?

    Hello everyone - in my first post here, I'd like to thank you all for this forum! My main listening space has a 2.1 setup with an Audyssey XT32 capable AVR. It does a real good job with bass management, and there is the bass-happy smile on my face :) regardless of which volume I'm listening at...
