[QUOTE="dragonrage, post: 7240449, member: 574321"] If you are willing to invest the time and have the measuring equipment to play around with it, yes, it usually is worth it. If you've got a laptop and you're relatively comfortable with PCs, then I would suggest you look into [URL="http://www.minidsp.com/onlinestore/details/63/15/minidsp-in-a-box/minidsp-2x4-revb"]MiniDSP[/URL]. It can do many things, but for EQ, you will need to buy either the 6-band parametric EQ plugin or the 30-band graphic EQ plugin. Parametric is more powerful but graphic is easier to use and you get more bands with graphic. You just have to hope they're where you want them because you can't move them to the frequencies you want, unlike PEQ. If you like it, you'd want to order the MiniDSP in a box and whichever of the two EQ plugins. If you do NOT want to spend the time: You could consider an automatic calibration box, like something with Audyssey MultEQ. Not all MultEQ stuff will handle bass, though. I believe you need MultEQ XT or MultEQ Pro for that. If you don't want to spend the money: Work with what your H/U has and if you want more in the future then you can upgrade to the MiniDSP, or the Audison Bit.One, or whatever. [/QUOTE]
