I see folks arguing the opposite - arguing that DSP speakers are a fad that will disappear....and therefore never improve.
I love my Genelec Ones - their DSP adds a lot. But I certainly don't expect the technology of using DSP in speakers to stay static. That's one of the major benefits of digital technology in general - the manufacturer can iterate faster and therefore improve their product over subsequent upgrades/versions faster than analog based products.
That’s what I’m saying, DSP in speakers is in its infancy. If people are saying it sounds better than an analogue crossover now, then how are they going to sell the next improvement in DSP? There clearly is still a way to go.
Unfortunately I’m one of those people that find the Genelec sound very unnatural, and using DSP for room correction on speakers quite noticeable. I’d rather have the room with its flaws and get used to it. When I hear DSP that is totally transparent I’ll change my mind.
