Thanks Curtis!! Denon 2802 does not have room correction. Pioneer 1014 is less expensive ( don't like the word "cheaper"! :-)) than Denon 2805 or HK 635 and has MCACC. My denon's treble control is, correct me if I'm wrong, at 10kHz. If I have a room gain of 2 db in nearby frequencies, then 4 db cut is compensating for that gain, but it's bringing down 10kHz by 4 dbs which is a lot! It's just an example.Originally Posted by curtis
On a side note (for anyone who wants to match denon with ascends): Denon/Ascend set up is very nice. It gave me many jaw dropping moments on DVDs as well as goosebump moments on music. In my case I have to tone down the treble. YMMV.
