They seem to be doing something with room correction too now. Looking for beta testers. I didn't get a clear understanding because the room was too crowded and I couldn't get back later. But it seems they're using Dirac now but will incorporate some proprietary DSP soon.

Having heard the system three times now, I still believe that the way I have my 3.7s in the Rooze configuration with diffusion in the room I accomplish much the same effect. In fact with some material I actually get 360 degrees. I just wish I could get some experienced audiophile in here to hear it in a somewhat blind test.

Wow, Dirac and propriety DSP. Dang that's music to my ears, been waiting for Magnepan to do something like that for years. Bravo to whoever got that pushed through. Can't wait to hear the results, 2025 maybe?

  To be clear ... I was speaking of the Bacch processor doing this DSP.
  
  As for Magnepan, there needs to be DSP in the V woofer thing is they ever build it. I use Dirac with my system with 9 Maggies in the room and it works really well.
  
  But it seems the marketing approach is, if people will pay $4000 for capacitors inductors and wire ... why bother with DSP? In fact the market for expensive passive components would no doubt reject DSP.

    I've suggested a "Y" mod that would include DSP. No success so far, but I'll keep trying.

      Josh, you cam put in my vote for the Z model, which would also be actively powered. But in the time, just keep pushing Josh, for that DSP

        Actively powered would be great! Someday, I hope they'll do it. But I think there would be a lot of pushback from audiophiles who want to provide their own amp.

    I haven't priced high grade inductors and caps lately, so if I think their prices for the X upgrade seem way too high, forgive my lack of knowledge on designer parts.
