[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 88972, member: 20"] You can also use Foobar2000 with a convolver, or a VST host compatible media player with a convolver. A plug-in is also available for the Squeezebox. Several software packages are available for deriving the FIR correction filter, including at least one free / open source option. A disadvantage of this approach is that while it is not too complicated to setup for stereo, multichannel HT is considerable more complex. A big disadvantage of digital room correction (DRC) is that it essentially corrects for one listening position. The purveyors of Audissey technology claim effectiveness over a wider area but I still need to get my mind around that claim. Perhaps they use a compromised correction in an attempt to take several positions into account. A kind of lowest common denominator approach? Still, an AVR fitted with Audissey or similar technology is really the only viable option for multichannel correction without too much complexity or cost. The advantage of multiple subs with acoustic treatment over DRC is that the former should be effective in a larger part of the room. Perhaps supplement your IB subs with some scattered subs, or split the IB outlets up and distribute them more randomly in the room? I think distributed IB sub outlets installed according to the multiple sub smoothing methodology should should provide the ultimate bass experience....if your room allows it. [/QUOTE]
