Hi sihctr,
I see you are making some coherent suggestions re what’s next.
In case you (and maybe others) have not already seen some of my previous postings on other threads, the following links (which also have some back link references), may be of interest.
Speculation for future new Focal/Naim integrated streaming (pre)amplifier products?
Speculation of new Focal/Naim loudspeakers?
Link to summary posting on FRs thread on CI-102.
FYI, the core software algorithms inside the CI-102 are capable of implementing room corrections. One just has to know how to do that.
The specific posting where I tried that is here.
