thanks for the details. Even thoug it can't be qualified as true
professional use it is already closer to that than the most common home
situation. For me it is already really interesting to ear about the results.

low distortion, but abysmal phase and frequency
response. Luckily, these are
EXACTLY the things that DRC is designed to fix. Most speakers have 10% or so
distortion at low frequencies and moderate listening levels. As far as I
know, this can't be removed by any sort of electronic correction. With this
setup and some modest room treatment, I've got very low distortion, AND flat
frequency response.
Indeed a KlipschHorn is a good candidate for DRC usage. BTW, just for your
information, there exists methods, based on Volterra Kernels, to compensate
also for non linear distortion of speakers. There's a Studer paper on
Internet about it. The math behind Volterra Kernels is frightening
difficult, at least to me, so I never went through it.
Bye and thanks again,
