To really understand your graph you should describe the dimensions of your room, the position of the speakers and the position of your measuring SPM. If the graph is the speaker response at your normal listening position, then your have a fairly flat system response. IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE IN ROOM RESPONSE MEASUREMENTS SIMILAR TO YOUR GRAPH. The dip at 200Hz is probably a floor reflection phase problem. Try experimenting with speaker toe-in to address the peak at 4KHz. As a reference, perform the same measurement 1 meter directly in front each speaker. They should measure much flatter.
Tuning speaker / room response?
I finally did an experiment this afternoon to check out my speaker and room response. The graph below shows the results:
I got this using the Stereophile Test CD 2 tracks 15 through 18 using my system. The first one provides pink noise, the others give warble tones at the various center frequencies shown in the chart.
A Radio Shack SPL meter, in fast mode, C weighted, was used to to capture SPL levels. The meter was in the 80dB range. As C weighting rolls of above 10kHz, I did not show the rest of the spectrum.
Now this does not look all that flat to me, but I have never done this before. Can anyone give me an opinion on how good or bad this looks?
Also, it looks to me like a little room tuning might help. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to start with this?
