This thread is going a little off the rails here. I understand the skepticism and also I understand the passion. What’s important is that we enjoy listening to our systems at the end of the day.
Once upon a time Dirac was new and considered a game changer. Then MultEQ-X was a game changer. Now A1Evo is a game changer. There will always be something new and exciting to try but we shouldn’t be starting fights in an attempt to share our findings!
Personally I have tried A1Evo and it has optimized my setup as good as I wanted from it. It just works. It’s free to use, so even if you’re a skeptic, it won’t cost you anything. I didn’t use it for the longest time cause it didn’t match my manual sub distance tweaks and I thought I knew better. Sure enough, sub distance/delay values from A1Evo was even better than what I could come up with. Here are a couple screenshots of how audyssey corrected my subs vs how evo did for those curious (fyi, post evo lfe measurement was taken with 120lpf. All others are 250hz lpf). I’ll take some more measurements with crossovers engaged later on. Currently in the middle of changing some stuff and will need to take some audyssey measurements.
