I'm also interested in the SMS-1. However, I fully intend to do proper treatment and see what I can do with placement when I've moved my system into the basement. Since I'm not as dedicated as many of you, I may feel the need to get outside help. First off, how do I find someone competent to help with my room acoustics/calibration, and second, would it be better to have something like the SMS-1 before I even look into a consultation? I'd like to go as far as I can with the acoustics once I have my system in its final space, wherever that ends up being, but I'm not really sure what my first steps should be. Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread. It's just that I'm also interested in the SMS-1.
