Devialet in a state of chaos

[JohnnySix]

I went out to buy an equalizer a few years ago.
The people in several audio stores acted like I was crazy.

I happily use JRiver's EQ filters. I measure the room in R.E.W, then trim its filter suggestions down to a handful of filters beneath 300Hz, where I'm most sensitive to, whilst scaling them down to less than +/- 3dB. Since I've been doing this, I'm acutely aware of a major room hump at 65Hz, which I now cannot stand to hear.
I have a theory that if one's speakers are SAM'd (i.e. cone excursion kept under stricter control), then they might more accurately propagate the filter adjustments out to the real world(!)
As I've grown older, I've stopped obsessing about the pureness of the bits, and gone with whatever works best in the end. (The room is a FAR greater evil than impure bits!).
