I wish I could put more acoustic treatment in my less than ideal room. Even if I spent $5k on treatment, it wouldn't be perfect. I use my 990 with two Behringer DEQ2496 equalizers for L/C/R/Sub and it helps. I always wished that I wasn't doing the digital to analog to digital to analog path this requires. If all this is done in the digital realm within the 997, it can't help but be better.

Hello 997, hello ebay for the DEQ2496s and 990!
