In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers

I think the beam will be more or less OK. It’s too close to your head to reflect directly, but the ceiling above your head is ripe for treatment.

One radical listening approach is to toe the speakers in so they cross in front of your head. This minimizes the reflection against the side walls. They also seem to be too far out into the room to reinforce the bass well though, so, with an eye on the AM room simulator, consider pushing them backwards when you have that back wall treated.

Honestly though I'd move the speakers AND the couch forward as well.

@erik_squires Agree on all points.  I'll send you a message on a couple details, and a sketch of the room and dimensions, so you specifically have a better idea. 

Here is the room "treated" sort of over the top with utilizing what we have on hand, and making the largest change to hear/measure what is improved/worsened.  From the RT60 measurements, you can see that we dramatically reduced the echo/ringing from over 700ms to just around 500ms, which some state is around average/acceptable in most contexts. 

Also attaching measurement sheet to show where things are placement and distance wise. 

I have both of the mentioned speakers.  Legacy Focus SEs in my main listening area and the Studio HDs in my PC setup.  Studio HDs are very fine speakers, indeed.  But nowhere near what you should be hearing from the Focus SEs.  I've been fortunate to live in my home for nearly 22 years.  And I've been into audio and HT long before that.  When I first moved in, I had Legacy Classic speakers.  They sounded fantastic and 'hit' or slammed really hard.  Then I moved up to Focus (originals).  The bass all but left even though I went from (4)10" bass drivers to (6)12" bass drivers.  So I went to work on sound panels and a few bass traps.  Tons of experimentation on speaker positioning as well... I'm talking countless hours of moving (even by mere fractions of an inch), listening for a few days and then moving again.  It took a lot of time and effort between placing panels in the right places and speaker positioning.  But once I upgraded to the new Focus SEs, all I needed to do was find the sweet spot of positioning.  If I put on something like the Beastie Boys, I get a very nice, full body massage.  You should be getting gobs of deep bass from these things.

@audiom3 Oh that is awesome to hear!!  I -LOVE-    my Studio HDs in my small living room Home Theater 2.5 channel set up.  I had Epos ES12s for awhile, which were "nice", but man the upgrade to the Studios was DRAMATIC!!!

I think with my fathers system, his speakers are in an enormous cavern, and there is a lot of reverb and ringing that are masking a fair amount of bas, (as noted and instructed by @erik_squires )   For him, the lack of bass is perfectly fine (he doesn't hear it that way), but for me......if I were playing Sabotage....YOU BETTER BE BRINGING THAT BASS!!!!!!!

Out of curiousity @audiom3  have you ever used REW and would you be able/willing to do an in room measurement?  I'd just like to see the difference in the bass response and levels comparatively.
