    Thanks, I knew it was a U*W-10 sub of some sort! I was surprised to see they integrated it in. I have one of the SOS standalone units. Got it when it first came out, introductory sale of $250.00 . I could hear the difference, but haven't sat down to measure it yet. I do have TrueRTA on my laptop. Guess I just need to kick everyone out of the house for awhile to do some testing! I just didn't have the room to put that BFD into. Plus, it wasn't really made for home use either.

    When I took a bunch of different speaker to an audio gathering in Austin not using auto eq on the amp was requested by more than one speaker company. Look at how many threads you see asking, "why did auto set-up set my surrounds to large?" Most people that have auto set-up amp feature and try a sound meter and set-up disc report better results from the latter.

    Quinn, the lastest firmware on my P-965 has done a great job with setting my speaker levels...I was quite impressed.

    After reading what Eddie Horton was able to do with his BFD, I am very tempted to give EQing the sub a try.

    That is good to know. I think the technology is in its infancy and will become very good. I don't think of a BFD as the same as auto set-up. It takes some work on the users part to get the best results possible.

    There are big differences between using an auto-level set in a receiver or pre/pro and using an auto-EQ function. I think auto level setting is hit or miss depending on the company, but I am yet to hear someone say they liked what a recevier auto-EQ function did to the sound (althought I haven't been specifically reading receiver or pre/pro stuff lately).

    I know there are some that are very happy with AutoEQ. When HTF had their demo out here in Hollywood, the SVS demo room used Ascends. The last night of the show, they were hooked up to a Pioneer 49TX. The owner fo the Pioneer was quite proud of the MCACC feature, so we did a quick A/B. I wasn't ecstatic with the results, but he liked it....then again...it wasn't a night/day difference.

    Yeah...BFD does take work, which is why I have been holding off. But everyone that I have talked to says that EQing the sub has great benefits, so for $100, I think I might go for it. I'll also spring for TrueRTA as well. If I do it, I also hope to learn some things along the way.
