Almost, but not quite. LARES was originally a separate algorithm for the 480L (not provided in the standard unit). Dave G used a few aspects of LARES for his HD algorithm, but HD isn't a full LARES implementation.

Several years ago, LARES was ported to the 960L and has been the basis of LARES systems for about the last 5-6 years. Another version was ported to the DNA chip (another Harman chip) and is used in the Wenger practice room. For those that don't know the Wenger room, it's pretty cool. It's used at conservatories and provides a realistic rehearsal space for musicians. Simply dial in where you'd like to be and start playing.
