Cheese Louise!
I was hoping I wouldn't have to go to pro audio. Even though to me this is the most important addition you can have to any audio system there is just a little to much overkill (price).
I am using an old ADC "Sound Shaper Thirty Three" It is a 2 channel, 10 band graphic, self contained pink noise generator, great flourescent graphic display, 3 switchable inputs and mic included. I believe I bought it for around $300. Maybe worth it's wieght in gold now
It has made a "can't do without difference" for any setup I have had. I thought there might be something out there today similar (especially in price) but geared toward surround sound with IR remote control for under a grand.
This is exactly why I have not yet upgraded my audio to DTS, 5.1, etc.
Guess I'll just have to keep looking.
