Is DEQX a game changer?


Just read a bit and it sure sounds interesting. Does it sound like the best way to upgrade speakers?

I just stumbled upon this story in TAS form 2008:

Alon Wolf of Magico used a DEQX crossover in his own Ultimate speakers.  That certainly is a big validation of the transparency of these units!
Thanks for posting that article, jeffrubin. I stumbled upon another article I thought was germane to this thread given all the talk of measuring speakers and interpreting frequency response graphs in the DEQX calibration software. I got an extra kick out of this since I own the Revel F208s that are featured in this test.

Thanks blang.  That's a terrific article, I had not scene it.  I am currently attempting to learn everything I can about speakers and acoustics prior to pulling the trigger on a DEQX (now more "when" than "if").  I'm slowly working my way through the dense but brilliant, Master Handbook of Acoustics.


I still would like a more user friendly version.

My speakers weigh 215 lbs. each. So, moving them outside is out of the question. 

Can satisfying results be obtained by just placing the included mic in front of one speaker at a time and have the unit read that info and make adjustments?


Ozzy, I think most users of big speakers like you and me are not doing measurements outside. Even taking indoor measurements, the improvement I heard was pretty drastic
