Sweet Room

[David A]

It would be sweet to have an amp able to locate the position of the listener and to dynamically tune room correction based on this location.

It needs face recognition obviously... I wouldn’t want it to optimize for my wife.

I know that suggestion is made in jest. I just spend some time working out just what would be required for such a system, especially given that it would have to deal with rooms of all shapes and sizes, with flat or sloping ceilings, with doorways that could be closed and with openings to other spaces that could not be closed, and also with the location and nature of the furnishings, both soft and hard, within the room plus a variable number of listeners in various locations.

What I decided would be a sweeter idea, and much more practical, would be one which could work out where I am, make a cup of espresso, and deliver it to me at my location without spilling a drop. I think Devialet might be able to come up with a system to do that a lot quicker than they could come up with a system to do what you suggest and, in any event, I'd rather have the espresso than electronic room correction.
