I have EQ for my system (a Schiit Loki is there but not hooked up unless something really needs it) and rarely use it as all I generally need to (rarely) do is adjust my subs...my large, untreated room sounds great as it has furniture lots of crap in it. I guess I know from decades of experience how to set things up to suit my tastes, so there's no problem to solve.
Sound meter + equalizer = problem solved?
I think it’s true. Digital room correction is even better. Are we just spinning our wheels and wasting time trying to solve the room acoustics/Fletcher Munson problem otherwise? Could audiophile dogma ie “don’t mess with the signal, dummy” just be completely wrong in practice? What were we thinking?
