Evdberg:

I appreciate the two PM's that you have snet me on this issue but because the above post is in the public domain I feel compelled to ask, also in the public domain, whether or not you are certain that this room was setup and calibrated by Mr. Erskine...the reason that I ask is that it is my understanding from AVS and elsewhere:

i) Mr. Erskine did design the room;
ii) Mr. Erskine did not build the room [i.e. this was done by local builders]; and
iii) Mr. Erskine did not setup or calibrate the equipment [i.e. this was done by local calibrators].

The reason that I ask -- and I believe this to be a significant point -- is that to the extent that the room was built and calibrated by others than Mr. Erskine it is not fair to comment on his work.

With that said, I am still interested in the debate and discussion as to what are the pros and cons of the various EQ schemes being discussed...
