Is DEQX a game changer?
Congratulations Al, an excellent summary!You have been very thorough in measuring your speakers and I am sure Nyal will give excellent advice to get the best from the systemWe all look forward to your further updates

Hi Bruce, my OBs only handle 100hz and upwards - each using four mid range drivers plus ribbon tweeters. All these are physically aligned (to the originating point of each) within a flat, tall and wide baffle & the speakers also have shallow t...

Bruce: I think Bombaywalla and Al have answered your question very well, DEQX corrects exactly what it hears but, as you also suggested, it is still a function of crossover, driver design and build quality, plus 'voicing' of the cabinet as wellDEQ...

DEQX claim that their algorythm time aligns all frequencies within a given measured speaker, even if this is a 2 or 3 way, regardless of the crossover order or even physical placement of drivers on a flat or stepped baffle (measured at once - not ...

I'm sorry, I am not experienced with materials for acoustic panels. Maybe Nyal could comment as I have seen a couple of recent posts from Acoustic Frontiers 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Thanks for pointing that out Al, no problem at all! I have always tried to keep my posts quite generalistic because we seem to have several potential or new users here and many of the principles behind DEQX can seem pretty bewildering at first, of...

Bruces' question: 'Btw, you referred to 'time alignment' and 'time coherence'. What is the difference between the two terms?"My explanation is a bit lengthy (as usual!) and I cover phase coherence as well. They are inter-related....Simple answer.....

There is a much simpler way to create a duplicate or modified file: open your original file as normal in the software then immediately click 'save as' from 'File' on the menu bar (top LH corner)When the smaller window appears, simply change the fi...

This reply is to Bruces' questions - From your measurements I would say you are already using very good speakers as the response is better than I managed to achieve in-room with my original Shahinians. I guess you used quite a lot of sound absorbt...

Apologies for the delay in response here guys as I am in Europe and there is obviously a time differenceAnswering the question about windowing - an indoor measurement is not as clear as one taken anechoically and those sent by Bruce are rather lik...

Bruce previously sent me his files and Larry windowed at 24ms and 98% smoothing. My own outdoor measurements are windowed at 26ms & 0% smoothing because measuring 'anechoically', the plots are clear and have almost no reflections or impulses o...

I originally made a number of indoor measurements & the closest I managed to the result outdoor was by lifting the speakers onto a small table in the centre of the room so the driver set was roughly equidistant between floor and ceiling with t...

Congratulations on your purchase Almarg - I think it's very good to do the first run through of the measurement and calibration process in situ. I dragged the system outdoors when I first did this but realised a few days later that I should have d...

Ptss, what you say is logical and I understand why this concerns you. I guess I am fortunate that my HDP3 uses the same linear power supply as the HDP4. However the PDC 2.6 I first listened to and the Premate others here refer to both have 'inferi...
