Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

@mahgister , I found your last post very interesting and informative as well. More than one way to skin a cat!

My only curiosity about MQ112 is room correction with an assumed non narrow notch non Q or center point selectable analog and not digital filters. Not sure how this works for the needs of room correction. But I guess the ear tells all. Just gotta listen. 

I believe it is advertised as ‘environmental’ or room corrective, yes?

Thanks very much for your understanding and kindness ...

You are right for your observation  about the "cat" in my book ...😊

@mahgister I actually love your idea of tuning the speakers to the room.  Any good designer knows that the low end is EXTREMELY room dependent, and not every speaker is perfect in every room, or in every position of any room.  Your tuning-straws are a great idea, if probably a bit unsightly!  My oldest speakers are B&W Matrix 801-S2's, and I love them to death.  In my music room, with slab foundation, the low end is tremendous, and I needed to put them on 8" stands to tame the bass.  Then I flipped the furniture 180, and on the opposite wall, they sounded like a disaster.  I moved them to my living room with raised wood floor, and they sound PERFECT on the floor with no stands.  So how can a speaker designer align a low end response that will work in all rooms?  It's impossible.  

@tlcocks Yes I know of the MAAG eq, and I asked the designer if he'd make a version with ganged controls.  He said no.  So I will not buy a MAAG, but the Skyline M3D is very MAAG-like in its design.
