Auto Room Equalization?

From several things I've read, people seem to be much happier with Dirac than Audessey in general.

From what I have seen of the target curves, Diract is closer to what I'd use. So is JL's sub curve.

I think Dirac has trial software you can use on your PC for a limited period of time too.

One thing to keep in mind is that the goals of each ARC are not universally agreed to. That is, different vendors probably use different curves and as a result, they do not produce universally great results.


I agree that doing it myself yields the best results from what I’ve heard, but not everyone can or has the right gear to, not to mention, it’s a PITA.


The curves I’ve seen from JL subs are very close to what I’d use, but wow, talk about expensive.


Right now, based on reviews, I’d seriously listen to Dirac and Anthem.


Again though, room treatment helps EQ work better, and solves issues EQ alone cannot. You can actually greatly reduce bass nulls, a problem impossible to fix with EQ alone.

EQ alone is crap.

EQ + Room acoustics can be magical.
