room acoustics

i have just done a load of reading up on this arc thing and my conclusions are simple. DONT buy it!!!!

Revolutionary Audyssey MultEQ® technology corrects frequency and phase response not only for the engineer’s ‘sweet spot’, but also multiple points in the room
...
Sonically ‘treat’ your room – get the sound of a $50,000 treated room for a fraction of the cost – so you can finally trust the sound of your studio


what a load of bollocks. the eq system is meant for home cinema, not professional music studios. seems to me like jbl are using a similar type of technology to this too, just to sell sub-standard monitors. mind you, they work for dirty, so there's something in them. hmm i need to check this shit out. i might order a pair of these jbl's on a 14 day money back thing and see what happens.....

until then, where did i put those hair clippers?? hehe

JBLs are rated highly by professionals across the board.
Both Katz and SOS had almost no critisism which is extremely rare.
I trialed for 14 days and couldn`t resist.

As for the ARC, it`s a little early to make a decision based on it, as it is undergoing review buy a lot of proper studio pro`s at the mo.
I`d wait for their opinion to get a decent evaluation, but I know some of the guys at the MPG are looking into it also, and I am in regular contact with these guys.
Pro`s well beyond all our standing on here, so I should be able to get a very critical and anal evaluation from some serious audio heads pretty soon if anyone is interested.
Although there is one review I have found, and it`s a favourable one

I wouldn`t advocate the use of RMC and no room treatment at all.
But very basic room treatment, and rmc will do better than clueless over treatment or bad amateur treatment of a room without professional audio consultation, which could end up "killing" the sound of a room.
