NeptuneEQ incoming; I'm excited!

**DaveN** · **10-08-09, 09:11 PM**

After scouring the web, this forum, all similar product reviews and peppering Ken with questions, I have a NeptuneEQ in transit. My room is far from ideal and I suspect that the Neptune unit will get a real workout.

My room diagram is attached. Equipment list:
Advanced Sound custom dipole speakers FL/FR/RL/RR Direct radiating center channel. Each speaker has 10 drivers with the center having 4 drivers.
Genelec 7073A sub
Theta Casablanca III Xtreme/Sup Dacs
Aragon 8008BB
Aragon 8008x3B
Oppo BDP-83, 980
Lumagen RadianceXD
Toshiba HD-DVD player
Velodyne SMS-1
Sony Ruby LCOS

It will be a week before I have it installed but I am expecting this to be a lot of fun.

Ken,

I got back from a trip last night and hooked the NeptuneEQ up. It truly does take about 5 minutes to configure the unit. Getting all the new cables that I had purchased unwrapped and hooking it to my processor was the longest part of the setup. I did not have long to listen to the unit before leaving town for the weekend.

After running the auto setup and tweaking the tone controls I called my wife to take a listen. When I asked her if she thought my system sounded any better her comment was "this is a HUGE improvement". I was smiling, as the results in my system/room are anything but subtle. Every aspect of the sound is better. The bass is more palpable, soundstage is coherent, and dialogue is more revealing. Fine details that I had not appreciated in familiar movies were present.

Unfortunately, I discovered that my sound analyzer is malfunctioning and I could not collect some before/after measurements. More to come....

Dave, that's wonderful to hear! I'm very glad you hear a big improvement in your system!

Obviously your wife is a very discriminating listener too.

Thanks for posting.

Ken
