Ok, but i'm struggling to see how that is at all relevant to the thread question which was - Am I crazy blowing the budget on a much better pair of speakers vs upgrading to Vitus separates? This guy did & never looked back - http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue70/magico_vitus.htm

The point of suggesting electronic room correction was to offer an alternative for improving the sound to a significant degree at a much lower cost than replacing the current loudspeakers or amplification. It was never clear that only new equipment purchased from a specific dealer could be suggested. Perhaps a list of the brands carried by the dealer would help potential respondents?
Very few audiophiles have had experience either Vitus Audio or Magico products given their high cost and limited distribution, yet there have been multiple varied responses to the query. Perhaps the Vitus Audio separates are the greatest thing since sliced bread and will bring you sonic nirvana. The Magico S7 may bring the sound of angels into your midst. Whether it is crazy to blow the budget on either of these very expensive options is a question that only you can answer. Just keep in mind that there are always other choices.
Rke, you made a reasonable suggestion to consider other potentially less expensive options to improve the sound of my system, though the point I was making was that in my thread question I hadn't thrown open the question of what other options could potentially provide similar gains for less outlay. The thread question was basically comparing the option of upgrading my current SIA-025 integrated amp to Vitus separates vs upgrading to Magico S7's being a much better loudspeaker, hence I wouldn't have thought that required clarification?Some folks like playing around with EQ's and DSP's, however I wouldn't name myself as one of them. And at the level of Vitus Signature series, Magico S5/S7 and Jorma Prime/Statement, I don't think I need to. However I acknowledge that Vitus in particular has limited representation in the US. They are much better known in Europe, Hong Kong, China & Australia where they have a larger distribution network.
My sense is that investing in better loudspeakers and room treatments will bring the largest gain as one earlier respondent noted.
