So, I've been lucky (sad?) enough to have had all of the common dedicated subwoofer EQ devices through my room. Far from deciding that there is a definitive pecking order, it seems to me that each has it's own strengths, be it price, automation, manual tweakability, etc.
Never-the-less, we all like a good EQ discussion, so as the success of an EQ is it's ability to provide a smooth/flat and indeed short response. There is a general forum 'opinion' as to which is best, I thought I'd invite the brave to pick which was which from their respective waterfalls produced using REW which doesn't care which device it was measuring. All are produced using the humble Monolith and I apologize in advance for the slightly differing perspectives and frequency ranges used, but I think the effectiveness of each device used can still be seen.
So, with the exception of 'No EQ', I've blanked the names of (in no particular order) the SMS-1, AS-EQ1, 8033 Anti-mode and A N Other budget device I have been playing with and invite you to say which is best and why:
<EDIT>Somehow I deleted the original image from Imageshack suicide so I've reposted the reveal in order to make some sort of sense of what's going on. Repeat 100 times, I am an idiot, I am an idiot......
