Interesting project and choice of gear. Also good to hear ART is still in development.

Let me add that, in my opinion, we shouldn't squeeze the maximum correction by ART.
I expect that less correction will sound more coherent with the rest of the bandwidth... and less correction will require less performance from the supporting speakers.

I have quite a bit of power from the supporting bed layer speakers and amps. Entertaining them with full range signal and some LFE on the top so they keep up in shape.

Is there a multiverse where Storm bass management would be supported with ART?

Here’s to hoping it will one day be available for Denon X800 series. I’m already enjoying Dirac Live Bass Control with multi-sub.
