Depends on your room and your system. My system is open baffle and subwoofer based. Thus some sort of crossover is required. Initially the was done with plate amps on the subwoofer. Now using a Dayton Audio DSP-408. It's inexpensive, so I imagine there's some SQ degregation. However, being able to cater settings like HP filters, LP filter, delay, and EQ resulted in substantial improvement. I'm pleasantly surprised. I would try a DSP unit from a vendor that is returnable. Play with it for a while and let your ears judge.
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
This seems to be a popular trend with many speaker brands. Some have internal amplification with DSP's and some have external implementations of it like Legacy. I have heard some good results with it being used but don't necessarily like the idea of everything being digitized for the sake of room/bass correction. Do you own or plan on buying a speaker like this, or have you heard any using it?

Incredible strides have been made and the trajectory continues. Subwoofer Optimization aside, if one's system has been seriously assembled with speakers optimally positioned for the playback of a substantial collection of pre digitally mastered vinyl the difference in analog and current digital processed playback can be quit noticeable for some. Considering the user's age in this scenario, the 2008 Universal Studios fire and the undeniable convinces and enjoyment of streaming the gap must be narrowing by the minute. In this hobby if you've never heard it done you won't be missing a thing. A testament to the 2024 San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art 'The Art of Noise' that analog playback's trajectory continues.

Ah yes people allergic to DSP who expect bass integration in room to be a magical thing to do... Y’all are not ready to send your already good system to the next level. Don’t conflate terrible DSP implementation (which from the comments seem to be the case with the lot of you) with actually integrated and well used DSP. So yeah DSP is actually what to do when you have the speaker/room/treatment coupling achieved. Anyone who says otherwise, I say, skill issue. |
@m-db ....for better or worse, the former in my realm, been DSP since '80's. 'If you can't shatter the wineglass with the tweets, knock it off with the subs." |
