Just be clear here, there was no listening to anything through an app on a consumer-electronics device. My friend Gregory had simply downloaded a spectrum analyzer on his iPhone and showed me what the system was doing in the room. I'll bring my real test equipment over today and we will get a real in room frequency response assessment with the precision of plus +/- 0.2 of a decibel to check speaker set up and positioning. Test equipment or no, that's not going to stop us listening to a wide selection real music with our ears. And none of that audiophile-y crap you hear at audio shows.

And, most importantly, we'll be enjoying the music.
