Hi gui
there are weaknesses in your reasoning here; you assume that the loudspeakers in use are transparent and 'correct' sounding. Very few speakers have linear phase response. Example: the Kef LS50 has the tweeter inverted, many (most?) Wilson models invert the midrange driver, many High End speakers do not even try to have a decent time response. If a dome tweeter is mounted on the same baffle as the bass/mid, the treble arrives too early. You'll have to account for this when you develop your theory. Your ML speakers is very good in this respect, I am sure.
You may be correct when you say that digital room correction reduces information density, but this is not my experience. I use Audiolense with long filters (132K) and can not say I miss something. If I use short filters (8K, 16K) I can hear the 'coarseness', but not with the long ones. Your test with SAM on/off and a female voice is interesting. I will try this as soon as I get my amp back from upgrade. Your binding post mod will be hard for me to resist, however! And what about this 'secret mod' you have mentioned?
