What's a reasonable listening position response curve?


Taking room accoustics into account, what is an acceptable frequency response curve? What plus and minus dB is considered acceptable? Can you share yours.

Here is a typical target house curve. I have similar results but I don't do a bass boost.  Ignore the nonsense about measurements flat to .01db he has the slightest idea what you're talking about. 

Au contrere mon frere I have not the slightest idea what you’re talking about.

That chart by the way, says right on the graph that is the Harman audio test system. This is the system they use to test their customers. If you think this is flat enough they know how much they can charge and you’ll never hear the difference. There are exceptions, but double-blind testing has proven to within statistical margins of error that all audiophiles are able to detect irony, the only question being the threshold level. In this case we may have to go to Spinal Tap 11.

PS- please verify you are not a robot.

I thought this would be right up everyone's alley on this site since they are Subjective preferences. At any rate house curves are all subjective but there's no way any in room response will measure flat to .01db.  Feel free to post one. Why insult Asimov ? 

My feeling is that digital EQ is not even worth considering if you are serious about music and a graphic equlaizer is superior,

Easy way to measure use REW and an approved microphone.  Graphic equalizer is not far superior for home use, you'll get much better results using digital room correction.

I only have Audyssey and it might give a smoother frequency response, but I find the SQ isn't as good.
