I downloaded that Harmon curve too and got the same 'thick line'. Lol, not sure why either. Maybe it has something to do with a zoom-scale mismatch between the original program and Dirac. - I have Elac speakers which benefit from the Dirac 'boost' at the tweeter level. When the mids and bass are...

Wow, great answer! - Complete with graphs! - Ya, we really need to see his calibration info. :)

Not sure which version of Dirac you're using. But in my PC version we are able to adjust the target curve by "grabbing" the high-end tab (or low-end tab) of the curve and sliding it up or down which creates a nice roll-off (or boost) throughout the high frequencies (or low frequencies) based on...

Dirac announcement you say? - Hmm, wouldn't be "Dirac Live Bass control", would it? :)

Hey, just for fun I tried the curve you mentioned on my DIRAC (0dB at 30Hz +3dB at 100Hz, 0dB at 2KHz, -3dB at 10KHz, -6dB at 20KHz) - Wow! This is what I was looking for! Thank you so much.... Great bass, midrange predominance, and relaxed highs. Not too bright. Really follows how the human ear...

Have a look at the Marantz Model 30. - If you like smooth detailed airy soundstage goodness with amazing bass tightness and control. It's a preamp and amp acting like separates in one box. Built like a tank, super powerful with a high quality phono preamp covering both MM and MC carts. Simple...

That's right, I forgot about that, thanks... So if you want higher resolution DSP\room correction then best to avoid units that limit Audyssey or other room correction offerings that do the same.

Aydyssey does this but not Dirac. 48\192

Yes. I love my Model 30. But I must admit I was a bit worried about it being a class D amp at first based on all the negative comments I've read about class D... But not anymore. All problems have been solved and holy moly does it ever sound good! Powerful, detailed fast yet full, and super wide...

I guess since this is not really a home theatre surround AVR Marantz assumes that if you wish to add a subwoofer than your mains probably don't go down very low. Thus allowing the built-in crossover to route the 'missing' frequencies to your sub. Thus not allowing double-bass to occur. (Of...

According to the Marantz Product Page it's: 70 WPC@0.02% (20Hz - 20kHz, 8Ω)

"Because we can" and "Because customers expect it" - We get away with it. Nothing to do with cost of providing services. - Greed!

Well, I've been enjoying the initial Model 30 for about a year now and it sounds unbelievably good. The 'old' Model 30 is basically a KI Ruby with a different preamp. (not necessarily worse, just different). The new Model 40 looks like a scaled down (in terms of specs\sound) version of the...

Will this mysterious addition be available to standalone processor users in Windows? :)

Fantastic! Thank you! - Lots of good information about both Dirac Live and Bass control.
