which eq is best for...

Ah, didn’t know you had an active center. :T

The situation with the miniDSP is that the balanced version will accommodate a 2-volt signal (if I recall) but the unbalanced version only 1 volt or perhaps even less. So, it’s easy for just about any receiver to drive it into clipping.

The previous incarnations of the BFD were too noisy for use for the main channel speakers, so people mostly only used them for subwoofers. No one has reported anything about the newest FBQ-1000 version, so we don’t know if the noise issue has been corrected or not. We haven’t seen many inquiries about the BFD for the past few years, so it appears that since the miniDSP came on the market most people are opting for that rather than the BFD.

If your country has 120 volt, 60-cycle power you might want to consider a Yamaha YDP2006 digital parametric EQ instead of these two. First class equalizer, sells under $200 US on ebay.

First of all, my center is active, what do you mean headroom? it doesnt have enouph voltage to drive ?
I read your articles , and i know that it is useless so many filters per channel so i believe 6 are enouph for my case, it is not a significant reason to choose .
So FBQ , no headroom problem because of the balanced outputs?
I dindnt understand , FBQ isnt o.k. with sub-center ?
Do we have any noise-ground loop problems with any of them?
I know to many questions, in my country there is a proverb that says "Now that we found a priest lets bury 5,6"
Thank you for your time Wayne!

Ι would like to explain the proverb for those that might misundertood the meaning...

And the roots of it

Once ,they existed in a place two mountain villages, seeking priest for the celebration of religious mysteries. But the Bishop did not send them, telling them they had to go to the cathedral. But for the dead think was difficult. They therefore complained to the Bishop, and because the dead were unburied, the Bishop sent to one village a priest. The people therefore of that village, warned all residents of another village to go the dead who have to bury them now the priest had gone. The residents, however, said they did not have dead, but dying (almost dead) and another village answered them: "Never mind, bring them, now we found a priest lets bury five or six.


Εxcessive exploitation at the first chance given!

Thanks for your help all !!

P.S. maybe you consider adding " like'' to the options at the end of every post in α future mαintenance.
