| System Goals/Comments: | Have recently begun to biamp my N805s utilizing DEQX 2.6 as active crossover between woofers tweeters and REL subs. All time aligned, plus room correction. This is a MAJOR upgrade. |
| System Strengths: | Coherent sound with seamless integration between all drivers/subs. Great non-boomy bass. Excellent imaging, good clarity, not fatiguing (as B&W + Bryston potentially can be). Original shortcomings of the B&Ws,and suboptimal subwoofer-speaker integration now corrected. |
| System Weaknesses: | Would much rather have separate HT and audio rooms, but that's not possible right now. I'm pretty happy for now, and I'm convinced I would have to spend a hell of a lot more for significantly better sound. |
