I like the "power hifi" moniker, but I thought this was designed first for home theater. As such, it should be sensitive, low distortion and have good speech intelligibility.
Absolutly ok.

Unless the newer versions are better, the manual PEQ on my RX-A760 is far too limited. You only get 7 bands (the PEQ from @Maiky76 requires 11), 3 of the bands can't be used below 500Hz, frequencies can only be selected in 1/3rd octave intervals, Q values are not precise, only 0.5 dB gain steps.Yes. Yamaha AVRs have a user accessible 6 or 7 band PEQ per channel.
I certainly hope they are more consistent, it's one of the reasons we moved away from the Chinese clone compression drivers to name brand compression drivers.How do you feel the consistency of the updated drivers would compare to this v1 compression driver?
A change in supplier seems like reason enough to have more confidence. I'd love to see the new version Klippel tested!I certainly hope they are more consistent, it's one of the reasons we moved away from the Chinese clone compression drivers to name brand compression drivers.
If @mtg90 can send the updated parts to me, I can swap them out and test and we can have full data for the v2 speaker.
If that is a no go, then if someone wants to send me their v2 I will test it. But sending a big speaker like that isn't going to be cheap.
About darn time you do something.on it!
Perfect!I hate you.
btw this is not the first time your algorithim is producing filters with 0 dB gain, is this behavior intentional? should be very easy to fix.

Preamp: -4.3 dB
Filter 1: ON HPQ Fc 67.5 Hz Gain 0 dB Q 1.15 -> type is HPQ not PK

Filter 12: ON PK Fc 17737 Hz Gain -5.35 dB Q 6.84
To that end, is there an AVR/AVP that will let you apply manual PEQ to a full surround set?
What are referring to?

I always use 0dB gain for the HPQ when I use one.
The HPQ type is High-Pass filter with arbitrary Q as opposed to Butterworth, Chebychev, Linkwitz–Riley etc.
Adding a gain there would result in a gain applied to the whole cascaded filter which is not necessary since I also compute the Preamp gain.
Have a look there for the definition of the biquads:
https://sourceforge.net/p/equalizerapo/wiki/Configuration reference/
Usually the two first filters are used to
- Shape the LF response (obviously) and maximize the output within the bandwidth of the speaker
- Remove the bump around 100Hz very often present
- Protect the speaker from over-execution below the tuning frequency (ported speakers)
Thanks, that would do it. Not sure about the value proposition of a $4000 processor and a compete set of separate amps to enable anechoic correction of a $300 speaker. I guess you could go Denon X3700H and use all the pre-outs to a miniDSP 10x10 HD for about half the price.Monoprice HTP-1.
IMO the SEOS horn design really shines in the normalized polars. That's a huge credit to the DIY community's engineering chops. IMO the trick is to find a compression driver that's as smooth as possible to minimize the manipulations required. I don't suppose there's a 1" exit JBL ring radiator with Voishvillo's phase plug? Tymphany and SB Acoustics have gotten into the compression driver market. Maybe they have a more "hifi" sensibility of prioritizing smoother (never going to get smooth from a compression driver on a horn) response over performance venue filling SPL?

Wouldn't any Denon with Audyssey XT32 do this with the app? No miniDSP or separate amps needed?Thanks, that would do it.

Does the MultEQ Editor app give you access to Manual PEQ? Without that, you can't do a correction based on these anechoic results.Wouldn't any Denon with Audyssey XT32 do this with the app? No miniDSP or separate amps needed?
I do not think so, others will know more. But even without direct entry of PEQ parameters, you could match the required EQ curve. Something like this might help:Does the MultEQ Editor app give you access to Manual PEQ? Without that, you can't do a correction based on these anechoic results.
