(reference : http://forum.bd-design.nl/index.php?id=14901 )

but what I can not accept is that people are using the same device at the same time to correct their room response....this is simply wrong and will never lead to the most optimal performance of your system!

I'm not sure why this is impossible (IOW I think it just is), but another thing is that it is not needed, should not be, is wrong for treatment.

This needs another few pages to explain, but

a. This is what GC gets the headache from (hi mr. Lyngdorf)
b. For me (and others) it is sufficiently proven that it is not needed indeed.

May it be amps, speakers or playback device (random order), when all are sufficiently right, you would not want any room correction.
Room correction is needed when what comes from the speakers (incurred by the whole chain) is so much wrong that only room correction can make you think it's allright again. Ehh, on that one calibrated spot only.

You don't believe that ? come over and have a listen.

Bert, I was addressing people in general. Not you.

PS: Now start thinking about what you would prefer :
1. An exact copy of the hall etc. where the recording took place (fake in 90 % of cases anyway)
2. Let your room act as the room where the recording took place.

Hint : When you don't choose 2, you get a headache.
