Hi guys,
I have been taking some time re-reading these threads on sub management and room EQ with renewed interest as my (admittedly ancient) dbx 20/20 EQ/RTA recently "passed on" to the great audio room in the sky. It had been on life support for quite a while and recently a decision was made to "pull the plug" :sad:

I did some googling and checked out the Behringer UltracurvePro 24/96 Digital Equalizer as it doesn't clash with my budget. This site had some very good things to say about it. Of course, some ML Club members have had some horrible experiences with it as well. Needless to say, as a result, I am apprehensive. Some more googling revealed this new piece from dbx: DriveRack® PX Powered Speaker Optimizer. There is no manual online for it yet, but it seems to be a simplified (but not stripped down "feature-wise") version of the dbx DriveRack® PA. Despite the marketing of this piece being geared to self-powered speakers (Purity, anyone?), I can't see why the dbx PX couldn't be used in a more traditional system, say between a processor and amp. Since the connections are XLR, for non-balanced systems XLR to RCA adapters would be needed. I know Cardas offers them for about $75 each.
Anyone have any additional thoughts or ideas?:think:
