finally got my lyngdorf RP-1 room correction box set up and running and thought i would share a quick report. i have gone through literally YEARS of frustration, spending money like water trying to get the sound i want out of my stereo. some might remember i actually had my vantages up for sale here a while back. i have NEVER been able to get even close to achieving the sound i know my system was capable of. my house is really one big room - a lofted, completely open 2 level floor plan, and hardwood front to back. even if i was willing to hang room treatment in it (i'm not) it would have been a logistical nightmare to do. i read about the lyngdorf a while ago, and how it's design and focus is quite different then other room correction systems. it aims not to get the flattest response possible, but rather to allow your speakers to sound the way they were designed to in an accoustically correct room. my first experiment with it didn't go as well as planned. i figured i would spread out my vantages as far as possible to try to broaden the soundstage as much as i could and let the lyngdorf do the rest. this didn't go so well - the soundstage became a lot LESS focused then before, although the overall sound wasn't bad. so first lesson learned - speaker placement is still important with room correction. back the speakers went in there original position - about 6 feet apart, 4 feet from my back wall and toed in so i am looking at the inner 1/3rd of the panels. the sound - well, just let me say this was the first time since first auditioning the vantages that i got full on goosebumps. i'm also kinda embarrased to admit that my eyes watered up a bit on several new annie lennox songs (god i'm a sissy). the best listening experience that i have ever had from my system and i can't wait to get home and hear more. correction percentage in my room is being measured at almost 40% so the processor is definately working hard and my room definately sux for sound. spooky martin-logan "you are there" sound galore, huge soundstage, just amazing. you can flip the processing on and off with the remote to A/B the sound and it's really incredible what it does. i would like to add that the sound is NOT "processed" sounding or "digital" (at least not to my ears). i cannot recommend this unit more to anyone having a hard time with their rooms.
