Tiano's System

[Tiano]

So, after 6 months, what are your feednbacks with the DDRC-22D ?

I like it, but the improvement is not as conclusive as I had expected. My living room is overly "reverberant" and the Dirac certainly does make listening less fatiguing. Solo piano sounds much better (clearer, more open). But in some cases music can sound thinner. Nirvana´s "Smells Like Teen Spirit" has less emotion; Cobain´s voice feels more distant. I didn´t have any problems with bass, so the gain in this regard is modest.  

Probably I should make more measurements and play with the curves, since I feel there is still some room for improvement.  But in any case, the Dirac will not change the basic character of the loudspeakers. Now I´m asking myself if loudspeakers with "waveguides" (providing more directional mid- and high frequencies) would be a better solution for my living room (WAF allows no acoustic treatment).
