Hello,
I'm looking for the simplest, most effective way to apply some equalization to my front left/right speakers in my "home theater". I currently run a 4.2.2 setup (got rid of my center channel, as I prefer a phantom center) with a Sony STR-DH790 AVR fed by Apple 4K TV. The simplest/cheapest way I'm aware of to do this, applying to all listening modes (TV/Streaming/etc...), would be to buy a MiniDSP 2x4 or 2x4 HD. My AVR doesn't have pre-outs, but I get around this running FL/FR terminals on the AVR to this:
https://www.crutchfield.com/S-RVika...hKTHZRxst4I00HiI7xW4d7FuJikYYAcEaAol9EALw_wcB
I then have an external amp powering FL/FR. I'm thinking I would need to put the MiniDSP 2x4 in between the Russound and external amp.
My questions:
-If I'm only wishing to make a couple of EQ corrections, would there be a discernible difference between the 2x4 and 2x4 HD?
-Are there any alternative solutions out there I should consider within this price range?
Notes:
-I have my subs dialed-in nicely, so no need for any changes there
-I have no need or desire to EQ the surround L/R
-Room correction/"EQ" has been set with the AVR, but it is extremely limited in features (basically gain, distance, treble, bass)
-I will not be upgrading my AVR, as aside from enhanced EQ abilities, my current one does all I need
Thanks in advance!
