    In all honesty I don't think it makes much difference which one you use, as long as you dial it in right.

    well, it's quite a difference from plug to plug, the Spectralizer from Steinberg is my favorit. Also have two very old hardware units Aphex Aural Exciter

    .

    I used to have Spectralizer, Aphex, there's one in Logic, I've owned the SPL box and Aphex Big Bottom (which if I remember right had it built in) - to me they all sound the same. But I use them in very small doses, and very rarely.

    In all honesty I've never A/B-ed exciters, but you use so little of the effect that it's really only a matter of whether the plug-in passes the dry signal cleanly. I'm sure they all sound different, but with the exception of the old BBE from the '80s (which sounds like harsh eq), they all add a little high-end distortion to the signal.

    So I'm sure you're right, but the only things I've ever used exciters on have been horribly messed-up to start with - beyond the point where it makes a difference what plug-in I used.

    And I'll have the room enlarged so I can accommodate those speakers. Thanks. [:)]

    Bauxit! What color you want... eeeh i mean your are right, i throw
    them out tomorrow, and apply instead spectralizing, it's much
    more near the reality of the market and what speakers people
    buy at Interdiscount oder MediaMarkt. Ich bin doch nicht blöd!
