So I just finished running ARC. Wow. What cool software. I will have to post some screenshots sometime, but the link below is to a 6 page report (mostly pictures for those that don't like to read) showing just how much it is able to tune and tweak my Axioms to my room. SOOOO impressed as to how close to the target it gets with the speakers.

Now I am off to listen to a couple of demo clips before dinner, and hopefully get a chunk of a movie in later.

Outstanding result. Your measured response before EQ was quite good above the room transition frequency. Now just wow!

Does the software use sweeps or chirps? Looks like 1/3 octave measurements in the graphs. Any option to increase resolution? What a great result. Congrats Nick.

It does sweeps.I didn't do much except just set the number of speakers, and then hit "go" pretty much. I haven't dug into anything more than that.

So I just opened up the app and it doesn't seem to have any configuration options to change the resolution.

My 4 on-wall M3s shipped today! Yay!

I ordered them in the "paintable finish" so that I can match my ceiling color better.

I will have to brush up on my HVLP painting abilities so that I can get a couple of nice and even spray coats on them.

Did you order on-wall M3s or in-ceiling M3s?

I went on-wall instead. Just couldn't bring myself to put the holes in the ceiling, plus after some tests with my existing on-wall M3s, I noticed that sound coverage was noticeably better if the woofer could be angled, and not just the tweeter like the in-ceilings.

I need to get myself in-gear, get the wires run, and make some ceiling mounts at the correct angle for the speakers (front pair will be angled more than the "rear" pair.

Also, people are finally starting to publish information about best speaker locations for multiple rows of seats.

Nick, it's facinating following your HT adventure!

Has anyone used the DSPeaker Anti-Mode? I'm wondering if it's comparable to ARC.

Isn't DSPeaker only for stereo (they have a separate subwoofer unit too)?

ARC, at least in the MRX-1120, does all 11 speaker channels, plus the dual sub outputs.

Also, have you seen my report from my 7.1 setup? There is a link a couple of posts back about my ARC correction. Pretty amazing. Not sure how much better another product would be, at least for my setup and my room so I haven't looked into anything else.
