Home stereo equalizer

Hi,

I need some help from anyone who can answer my questions in regards to a home stereo equalizer. First, i like to know do you know the brand and model of a stereo equalizer with double spectrum for left and right channel? I have seen alot with one spectrum but i am more interested in double spectrum which i believe is better i think? In addition, it must be with a remote control as well or included with the unit. Second, i was wondering in your opinion whats the best equalizer for music doesn't matter if its been 20 years old or vintage? I suppose the older ones are better since thats when it was popular and well engineered by demand i believe in 1984 through 1999 or 2002? Your opinion counts since i know of two are great which i have seen but not sure? It is the Pioneer GR777 and Yamaha EQ 630. What do you think? Finally, do you know top of your head how to archive or find all models of equalizers from a manufactures like Sony, Pioneer, Yamaha, etc. etc. so i can find research which is best. I did Google it but its not helping! Again, i really appreciate your answers and i hope you can help since i need to buy and research right equalizer for my home theater.

thank you in advance,

Technics made a unit, SH-9010, that I think will be a good start. I used them in playing back R2R broadcast tapes and they do a great job. One major drawback of this unit is no remote. Also, look into the BSR 4000XR, it has remote and has a cool display. I've still have four of these units and they make a great balance control.

analog equilizers are just OK. If you can do wwithout a remote, and use a DAC, the a Behringer DEQ2496 is the best you could want and it is about $350 new most places.
It is totally in the digital domain, and can do all sorts of marvelous things.
You can use the Behringer's own DAC too.
Anyway, it can run circles around any analog equalizer.

Mamas1993, beware, if you decide to go try the Behringer; it's not that simple to use and requires a fairly steep learning curve imo.

Mamas,

Call Take5Audio in New Haven at 06510- (203)777-1750 they have a Rane SSE-35 equalizer used for $150 that may do exactly what you are looking for. Ask for Ralph or Bob. There's over 30 years experience and wont try and sell you something just to sell it.

The Rane will do 5 channel equalization in addition to just stereo so I believe that you can dial in and equalize all your speakers for both stereo and multichannel.

Finally, with room correction where it is today, I would suggest you look at those solutions. They work wonders. If you have a tough room, think of that as an option.
