I happen to have a measurement microphone and I was really curious to see the general response of my speaker/room combo over different locations. I hooked it up, made sure calibration was in place, etc etc... Just used REQ Wizard since familiar... I know there are better programs, not into that right now.
I was surprised to find that all of the curves from locations around the room were fairly similar, save for a little bit of off-axis tilt in the high freqs. I was even more surprised to find that the 1/6 smoothing showed that all curves at any possible listening spot are +/-3dB, no wide dips or peaks. What I did notice is that there were 3 fairly narrow dips that showed up (around 500, 1k, and 3k) in my LP graphs, but the corresponding decay was slow. I would think this cancels out the narrow ~4dB dips since boosting them would aggravate the resonance at those frequencies...
Again, surprised it measured flat, although I always thought it sounded decent without EQ (Pioneer AVR). The bass is almost completely flat down to 70hz on all LP curves and then it drops off.
Sorry for lack of graphs at this time.
Ahem... I was wondering if the best course of action would then be to move the speakers around until I get the best imaging/stage, then see if EQ is even needed.
*rambles on incoherently* AHEM.
Questions... comments... etc
