One thing to note is that the room correction would lower the level slightly depending on the amount of correction needed since the adjustment is done mostly by cutting off the peaks to get the frequency response closer to the target curves. So I would pick an efficient pair. The

I now have a version of convolver that can be used to filter from stdin to stdout (in a variety of formats). However, I need volunteers to test it and provide feedback, please. Someone to write a walkthrough on how to set convolverPipe up for use with slimserver would be even better. Thanks,

jrp - take a look at how my plugin sets up the transcode pipe. The plugin part manages this - it's at http://inguzaudio.com/EQ/download.php (sorry, the install instructions are a bit thin right now...) -- inguz inguz's

. In that case my original question still stands ... i.e. does anyone have recommendations for speakers to go with the TacT? I'm a long time Tact user and would no longer live without room correction. I started with the 2.2X with analogue amps and then switched to the digital 2150 amps. On the

Ok I see, in order to play convolved files I will have to save them in the convolved version. Does it works with flac files? Probably yes with foobar convolver. Rather painful I will try but only for few files. I myself are on the edge to make my first DRC filters to be used with foobar of jriver
