McIntosh Tone Controls
Does anyone know if the McIntosh tone controls are analog or digital?  
VPI Prime or Scout or ???
thanks @mulveling it's the Quintet Black. I auditioned with the Quintet Bronze but figured why not spend an extra $150 for the Black. I'm not sure I really understand the sound difference between the different lines, but the owner of the shop seem... 
Room Correction, Acoustic Treatment, Positioning, etc. What are my options
Pretty much none of the tools work with vaulted ceilings. Also, not all rooms are a simple box. My room has a 10’ wide opening to another 10’x10’x9’ room.

Got the MEN220 setup. I think I still need to tweak it a bit, but I’m amazed at the improvement in sound stage. It’s rare you just have a bypass button that lets you hear what sound stage is. It also improved the bass but it’s still going to need ...

FWIW I added a sub just to see what would happen and it didn’t do much except get boomy without sound more full. @handymann I check led acousticfields and will watch the videos but the products are just insanely overpriced. $4k+ for a single diffu...

Within reason I’ve moved the speakers around. That was the best runs of REW and the best sound. It still sounds excellent, overall, but the bass it a bit weak.

For those following along, I do appreciate all the feedback in this thread. I think the advice that I most took to heart was finding a local shop. I did just that. There is an amazing shop very close to me with selection of turntables, speakers, a...

Left filters on default. Using MQA limits it I think.  
2way speakers
I have the 805s and they are pretty amazing. Definitely a totally different league than the LS50. It’s probably better to compare them to the Focal Sopra 1 or KEF Reference 1.  
Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps
Has anyone compared them to something like the McIntosh C2600? 
VPI Prime or Scout or ???
