Are there any affordable multi-channel DSP-based equalization units?

Since Audyssey equalization is available in receivers costing less than $1000, I had hoped that it would be available in a standalone format for less than that. Unfortunately, the least expensive version that I've found on the Audyssey Web site seems to be about $2500 plus whatever is charged for labor by a certified installer.

I've found comparable proprietary units by other companies, but they all seem to cost even more ($5000-$7000).

I'm currently using an AudioControl Bijou THX graphic equalizer, which is entirely manual.

Wayne,

Thanks for the suggestion of a used Diva. I'll investigate that.
I suspect a $500 dsp based EQ would be welcomed by many.

Matt,

If I'm reading the specs right, the Crown unit does have to be 'manually' configured to set all of the filters. What software do you use with it?

I overlooked one of the feature items: free "IQ for Windows" for setup and monitoring.
