My post had nothing to do with anybody's terminally ill father.

The Trinnov transforms are preserved under SVS transforms. I originally used a Sherwood R972 with Trinnov. My A8 was setup was (of course) done without Trinnov because the SVS calibration was only possible via the analog outputs of the A8 (the Trinnov transforms could only be applied if the...

I didn't "take anything back". I just wanted to let the few people who were somehow offended by my post that no offense should be taken by them, and also that they should grow up and not be so thin skinned.

Sorry if my post was too scary for some people. But it's only a joke, son. It's called Jaws, but it's only a movie, and it's over, so you can take a breath and relax now.

This could be a long wait for all you a16 buyers and backers. I myself don't need an a16 unless my A8 dies. There is almost no music with Atmos mixes, apart from Abbey Road, unless you like what 2L is doing. Also, if you read Widescreen Review, the native Atmos soundtracks are mostly awful...

Yes, I am aware that they are not simple PEQ. I used to believe in Trinnov, but I now think that it is overkill, way too complex and expensive; the speaker remapping they can do is remarkable and unique, but I think it is probably not needed for most applications. The main problem in my mind is...

Well, it's a complex problem, and the problem with doing EQ by ear, is that what sounds better with one program, may sound worse with another, which is the reason for automating it. But I am not convinced by anecdotal 'evidence', because 'most users' can very easily be wrong. I don't think the...

If you believe Floyd Toole, who wrote the book on speakers in real-world listening rooms, the 'room correction' built into receivers usually does more harm than good above 300 Hz or so (depending on room dimensions), and since the Smyth supports 'direct bass', the absence of channel-specific...
