once i try it out, ill see how it works. seeing as you dont have a clue how well it works, how about you stop criticizing based on some limited specs you read. the parametric eq is not why i got the 3805, but it will be interesting to see what i think is right compared to what it thinks. having the ability to equalize all channels is something i have never had before, so that in and of itself is an improvement. anyway.
