In my experience, tuning for hard rock, rock classic rock, hair metal etc, getting the mids tuned either makes it or breaks it. Not enough and thes ound is hollow, vocals and guitars are weak. Too much and it's tinny, scratchey, and sounds like overall ***.
what do you have to work wiith system wise?

Totally agree that as a general discussion there is just not enuff focus on the quality of the source music.
But also agree that if ur a metal head u really have to tune accordingly to tighten up the freqs that type of music targets. Higher cross, some work on the Qs, and pretty aggressive in the various hard hitting guitar focus areas.
It's not at all an easy tune if that's mainly what u listen to.
I have about 3k songs on my iPod thus the tune is much more forgiving w low Qs but the metal suffers as a result. Just too loose or slow to properly keep up.
Just my cave man level 2 cents.

Ok, to me, it seems like a dsp that has multiple preset capability migh ne in order. Your equipment shiuld be able to get there. Take one preset and tune the other types of music to taste, then program a seperate preset for the rock stuff. Tailwinds last post is pretty accurate. Tight q's, and the ability to fine tune should be able to get you where you want to be.

I'm still not sold on the 10s Jim. I know what they can do but I'm not sure I'm ready for that. Looks like a dsp will be on the list to buy soon
