You have already answered some of my vague questions. But to be more specific, they were regarding properties like for instance ease of setting up, getting a simple result, getting a really good result for one or perhaps even several points in the room, getting detailed information about the measurements and corrections, ease of changing the response manually, ... Also the technology behind the scenes, the kind of filters used, price, availability (DRC software often seem to be developed by very small companies and therefore releasing new versions, when needed, might not happen often enough or at all), ... I know you like writing long posts, but this might be a little much even for you. ;-) arnyk wrote: > What might the second box be?

My point is that two boxes with DSP could be replaced by one box with DSP, both for simplicity and cost. My ideal system would be something like "Meridian DSPxxxx with integrated automatic DRC" (but less ugly, much less). By that I mean speakers with digital in, a DSP/DAC/amp per speaker element AND a DSP for room correction. To simplify the process there should ALSO be integrated automated room measurement. One box in total. It could then be fed from any digital source component. (Well, I can dream, can't I...?)
