For the analog purist- to room correct or not?

Magico for $2K-3K.....hahahahaha:)
Not likely but 6K buys similar design, parts in ready product.

I assume that you aren't the big fun of single driver speakers since you haven't mentioned them in potential DIY projects.

Omni....hmmmmm, DIY........hmmmmmm that is going to be a though one. You could probably try to build spiral horn with driver facing up with some kind of cone above the driver to diffuse the sound in 360 degrees. The spiral design will load your floor as well so another cone might work there as well.
Non of this will work...hahahahahaha. I do NOT know ....I am shooting blanks here. But it might work...and if it does .........???? I will be pissed.

Mariusz,
Tell me about the $6k kit - magico design?

Jeffrey Jackson at Experience Music suggested I do just that with my system. Triamp using a Behringer DCX2496 and eliminate speaker level crossovers. I must say I'm very happy with the results BUT I'm using a highly modified unit. About all that's left of the stock unit is the digital processing section.

I'm getting very good results as listed but looking forward to upgrading to a better ADC when I get the money.

There's no reason why you can't perform effective room correction purely in the analog domain - you just won't find a cute all-in-one hardware/software solution that does it for you. But a look at your system suggests that you're not shy to put in a little bit of elbow grease . . .

So you might take a look at a classic, high-quality analog parametric EQ - something like a Meyer CP-10. Use it with a good sound analysis software (I use SmaartLive 5) and you can solve your room issues in exactly the way you see fit.

And while the crossover functions of something like the DEQX may be very powerful, IMO going down this road is definatly more the realm of "speaker modification" rather than simply "room correction". But if that's what you're after . . . .
