RE: Lyngdorf experiences?

Just bought the DPA-1 after trying it out for two weeks. I had been using a modified Behringer DCX 2496 in an active set up, but it was frankly too fragile and temperamental. I initially tried the DPA-1 because it has an active crossover section. It turns out however that there is only one crossover point so you can only have symmetrical slopes. It actually worked, up to a point, with my 3.6's, but I felt it sounded better going back to the passive crossover.
Having been disappointed with the crossover section,I then tried out the room perfect treatment. I have to say I'm impressed. I have read that some people think it "sucks the soul out of the music", but I don't agree with that at all. It is very easy to set up and there is a significant improvement in the bass , much more tuneful and considerably more slam. Higher frequencies are best described as being better focused. This is particularly true of vocals. The machine itself is very well made and is a joy to use, the only thing I find odd is that I have now recalibrated the room perfect module on three occasions and have ended up with three different results as to the amount of room correction occurring. I suppose it depends on where you set up the microphone to do the measurements.
I have to say I was a bit concerned as to whether it would work with dipole speakers, but it certainly seems to. Hope this is helpful.
