Digital room conditioning, as you put it, is already here. SigTech, Snell, Meridian, TacT, etc.
Science Fiction Time ?
OK you budding H.G. Wells and Jules Verne types. What is the next great quantum leap in audio. I'm not talking about refinements of existing technology. Two catagories...1) inventions. (Mechanical to electronic amplification, tubes to transistors, analog to digital, etc.) A system just starting to get a foothold that will esentially replace existing technology for the mass consumer market (CD'S over vinyl, cassettes over 8-track, or DVD over Laser Disc). I'll post some thoughts of my own, later! Happy Tunes!
