Really ? Plenty of WAF friendly acoustic treatments out there.

My comments on the above:
Power cords: Already using Shunyata Alpha Ztron HCs for all components, including P10
Dedicated AC power: I do need to do this
Room treatments: Unfortunately, the room is primarily a sitting area, for when we have company, so room treatments are not an option.

I'm surprised no votes for MEN220 given all the glowing reviews.

Yes, I too think large room treatments are all ugly for a primary living environment and a no go for me.

RoomPerfect transferred my room to the best its ever sounded and made implementing a sub simple and great sounding.

I am very happy with MEN220

The MEN220 is a great piece of functionality. It offers a wide range of ways to use it and a large amount of customization within each function.

I used one in the past to very successfully integrate the Sub columns of my IRS Betas by tweaking crossover settings and creating a custom EQ. Without it, my room was barely listenable. With it, my system sounded great.

But it was the crossover and custom EQ function that made it work for me, not so much the Room Correction.

If you need some or all of that functionality by all means buy one.

If you only want to upgrade for the sake of upgrading and are looking for bang for your buck. Take the time to research a way to incorporate artistic room treatments. You can have custom art installed on panels such that the end product looks like Art on your wall.

It’s your $, just make sure you are clear in your goal.

I am not a big fan of digital room correction algorithms. I prefer to “old school “ it with physical treatments.

This is a choice not a religion.

If you wish to go with a MEN 220 have at it. Enjoy!
