*upper graph is from outdoor readings trying to eliminate any room characteristics, bottom graph is in room.
I've been been trying to run my little blog http://averagejoeaudiophile.blogspot.com/ and get some reviews of as many budget/entry level/cheap speakers as I can reasonably get my hands on.
As I've been playing with REW and learning a lot by actually seeing why speakers sound the way they do, and seeing my rooms inherent acoustics
My latest speaker I've been playing with is the Polk t15 that has recently been on sale at Best Buy.
When I did my in room readings everything seemed to go as I've normally experienced and more or less expected from my listening of the speaker. A regular hump starting at 100 hertz and another starting at 1 kilohertz. Then a bunch of other fluctuations that I was figuring attributed to the a tunnel like quality to just about all male vocals.
The real question was when i took them outside to do similar tests and was blown away by how flat the seemed to be aside from the big dip between 2.5 and 6 kilohertz
