Digital EQ (Off Topic)

I think I have said this a couple of times before but read my lips, you
guys are all going to use some form of digital xo/eq somewhere in the next
few years once you will discover the disadvantages of analog filtering. All
the complains here sound to me like history repeating. Digital xo/eg is
just a complete new way of looking at things and needs a complete new
learning curve to get the best out of it, many commercial solutions are
doing it only halfway at the moment but things will change for sure.

Everything is a compromise, nothing is perfect and that is what this is all about. As long as the compromise is in favour to use passive filters (not easy but very possible) then this is still the way to go. If you can't make your system work with passive filters and the best compromise is using digital means then use that, I do not care...but don't try to tell that what you can't achieve passively isn't possible for others.

...excecuting a analog filter the right way. And before judging any form of
eq just realize that a crossover like the one used in the oris system IS a
equalizer and also realize that a perfect listening room DOES NOT excist,
eq can help here and that is in fact also what yoy guys are doing with
crossover tweaking as well.

You are wrong here, yes some limited passive EQ is implemented for tuning in the bass towards the Oris horns used in a specific room but it does not correct room anomalities. A smaller room just gives more bass compared to a large room and that is all. But this does not affect the Oris horns themselves which will happen when you connect your digital EQ in their path...

For bass tuning only I do see some advantages which has less negative impact on the whole system making things more easy to dial in but still, even used there, it destroys nice things...
