    3db's Main System located in the basement

    I agree, looks sweet! One question pops into my mind when I see real people's setups: does anyone actually have their speakers as far out into the room as audio reviewers claim they do?? My speakers (front) have to be less than a foot away from the wall behind, and one is kind of in a corner...

    NAD Introduces New C 700 BluOS Streaming Amp

    No Dirac Live = no sale, for me at least. It's too bad, but I understand that if this included Dirac it would be functionally almost identical to the M10. Does BluOS mean it is automatically Roon-ready?

    The Expanse (Amazon)

    Room EQ Comparison

    Ethan, very interesting test and article, thanks for posting it here. It does not surprise me that in a room with already-extensive treatment, Dirac can do more harm than good at places other than the sweet spot. I use Dirac myself, in a small and non-ideal room with the speakers too close to...

    Room EQ Comparison

    AustinJerry is getting closer to what would be required, but the protocol is still not quite what one would want (IMHO). Neither Dirac nor Audyssey tell users to use just one calibration location, so if you do that you are just comparing wrongly-implemented Dirac vs. wrongly-implemented...
