Nice, but all it really sems to do is make cheaper things sound better... you're still going to want to upgrade from that.

Hmmm, interesting technology. I don't think it'll cure most of us here though.

Just because you Supersize it doesn't mean it's Filet Mignon.

Yeah, but it'll sound better after you upgrade the cable running to it. And its power cord.

From the article: Quote:

It adapts intelligently to the music to give even cheap speakers a full, robust sound and compensate for the deficiencies of the listening space.

This sounds like DSP-based room & speaker correction for cars. This is a good trend that, if it continues, could improve the lowest common denominator of sound quality everywhere.

Audiophiles will argue that the lowest common denominator is still the lowest common denominator, but I look forward to the day that the cheapest stuff is good enough for me. I'd much rather be done with the silly quest for gear and focus on music.

curing upgraditis is sort of like curing hunger. not world hunger....just stopping anyone from being hungry.
