Though I love the technology and it’s great having access to the frequency spectrum Iv taken this box of tricks out.
What’s strange in taking it out is when you run it on bypass so in the system but supposedly doing nothing the sound dose sound bloated and terrible but properly taking it out and unplugging it this simply is not the case.
With the unit in place music lacks natural flow ( lol) and beyond the novelty of having a degree of control over things and a measured improvement in bass response it presents a fee too high sonically speaking. I can’t really explain why it’s worse, it just is... it’s less musical but I know that means nothing in objective terms.
No clue why this is the case, it’s nothing to do with the lack of bass some report after calibrating with the anti mode as that’s easily compensated for with the house curve function. Indeed you can get more with the anti mode in the system only hearing the speakers and not the room so much encourages you to turn up the volume.
Anyway I know non of you are intrested in subjective listening but I guess there’s more to it than meets the eye and a better frequency measurement does not automatically mean it sounds better.
I will try it on the sub I have that’s hiding someplace, unused now for some time. I did enjoy a smoother bass response so maybe I can get that another way.
