Spero-
Thanks for the heads up! That looks like quite a product for what it costs. What I didn't see mentioned is how the software deals with the low frequency output limitations of a subwoofer, particularly ported or PR'd subs. I'm also curious as to at what level the system takes it's measurements. One issue which concerns me is what happens with subs employing lots of output limitation as once these limits are reached at a particular frequency, EQing will produce no greater output. I presume that the system treats multiple subwoofers with a single correction curve, but that could be upgraded in a future system. Even so, this should be a great option for those not wanting to become bass experts in order to get good sound at a reasonable price. My first value choice would be to mate this with either SVS or Adire subwoofers where the $999 spent on the correction unit would provide much more benefit than a "better" or an additional sub.
Now, for those who are more ambitious and willing to put in some effort and time toward better bass, QSC has their little DSP-3 unit which is 2 channel, configurable via PC, and can be had for ~$300! I haven't gotten mine yet, but should within the next week or so. There are LOTS of cool things you could do with this unit, but of course it isn't automated like the JBL unit mentioned above.
