Some basic questions to help out this old guy!
Current equipment - Pioneer Elite VSX-49TX, ACI Jaguars mains, ACI Essence center, ACI Emeralds 4 surrounds, dual Titan II subs, Emotiva XPA-3 amp for fronts. Thinking of getting up to date with receiver or pre-pro but have questions on room correction software.
My older Pioneer Elite uses their MCACC and it works well as best I can tell. Now I do have dual subwoofers so maybe having proper sub eq would be beneficial but I just don't understand what that would improve as the subs operate in such a narrow range. Can you explain that to me in laymans terms?
Has Pioneer improved their software since the version in mine?
And I guess the big question----
If I were to purchase a new Pioneer or Yamaha (that don't have sub eq), is there some way to perform sub eq in an add on box or some other fashion?
I lean toward Elites and Yamaha as I have had experienced great reliability from them. Seems most discussions about them are really critical of their correction software and trying to better understand that. Thank you so much for any education you can give me.
