I am trying to find the best location for my speakers. Tuning by ear has been effective but I still like to see what the frequency response looks like. I also have a lot of diffusion/absorption products I can use to tune so I'd like to see their effect before & after visually.
As far as an EQ Preamp, I had a DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0. While it certainly adjusted the room response it degraded SQ. I had no idea how much until I tried it with/without in my system. Maybe it was the extra cables involved but it was anything but transparent with my equipment. I use Audysssey in my HT setup but I haven't heard anything transparent enough I'd use for my 2-channel. I'm not saying something that good doesn't exist, just that it would probably be out of my price range.
