What's a reasonable listening position response curve?

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

I found this graph on An Inconvenient Truth About Room Acoustics (The Myth Of The Flat Frequency Response) and likely to be typical of a high end system.

Yes, that to me wouldn’t be very listenable, to hot in the high frequencies. I prefer a curve like Katz described, fairly flat to 1khz then a slope to 20khz very similar to the Harman curve without the bass boost. Of course it's also speaker dependent above 500hz it's mainly the speaker in control , you need a good speaker that measures flat in an anechoic chamber. 

Too true. I was looking more at the ripples of the overall frequency response as a way to understand acceptable variations.

I don't understand the statement that sound quality is 110% determined by frequency response.

That's impossible.
