Got it.That doesn't change the price/performance metric.
Exactly. You simply cannot find any Acoustat at the same level of performance. The large Sound Lab models are not intended as a "budget" solution. Folks like me were interested in better. :)
Room treatments only get one so far as you have noted.
Kindly quote the text that gave you that incorrect impression. I use what's necessary to effectively take the room out of the equation. Without adding unnecessary processing into the signal path.
Diffusion addresses room challenges DSP cannot.
BTW, kindly reference the source of replacement Acoustat transformers. Should another fail with mine, that could be useful information. The one I obtained was from former Acoustat engineer Roy Esposito who also updated my interfaces ten years ago with his "Air Mod" that bypasses the wire wound rheostat at the top. Alas, he has retired.
