That's really great stuff!
I have been doing a lot of listening with my speakers which have a similar curve. One thing I've noticed is that they are great for movies, classical and Jazz, but for pop are missing low-treble energy. The voices sound like you are far back in the hall. I prefer to just use the preamp's treble to adjust it. I think also perhaps I've hit near the THX movie de-emphasis curve as well.
When you are listening to different things see if you hear the same or not.
I hope you are happy for many years with your work! 🙂 By the way, not sure if you ever posted pictures of the speakers, or talked about the drivers you are using. I'd love to see pics!
Best,
Erik

hi Erik
I would say that if using the minidsp 2x4 vs the analog using opa2134 together with good quality capacitors and resistors the winner is for sure the analog. Don't know maybe the drivers can emphasize the differences. As i said the sound is much clearer and detailed. Of course the digital has more noise also.
I don't know if there is a such differences using better quality digital crossover. Maybe the 2x10 or even better the nanodigi using external dac's would sound better.
This is the curve i finally liked hearing classical and other (not pop-but i listen to pop) music. I will leave it for some time as it is and maybe later i will rise the upper midrange and lower treble about 1-1.5db - it is only 3 resistors change on the board which i have already calculated-simulated.
As for the speakers there are from the Seas excel line: W26fx001, W15ch001 and the T29cf002 tweeter.

ioannidis,
Interesting. I just ordered a miniDSP 2x4 balanced, but my focus is to use it to tame some room modes in my subwoofer. I was going to try it on the center channel as well, since that speaker has issues due to it's physical location on my entertainment center. I may forego that until I can spend more money on it.
