Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?

@baclagg , This looks more like I would expect. By 28 Hz your bass is down 15dB. To give you the feel of a live performance you want you bass up 5 to 10 dB between 20 and 30 Hz. This is what subwoofers are for. At 200 Hz there is a 7 dB variation between channels. This is probably the wall. Middle C is 254 H. This will mess up your image a bit. Otherwise the speakers track each other very nicely. So the image is not going to be bad at all but it could be better. The overall curve is downsloping to 2200 hz which is down 15 dB from baseline. This will lead to a darker more forward presentation. Easy to listen to but not entirely accurate. You can play around above 10 kHz and below 100 Hz without changing the staging but between 100 Hz and 10 kHz you want absolutely flat in both channels. 

Now that you are measuring you have to gain the ability to do something about it. That something would be digital signal processing and the ability to EQ each channel individually. Digital preamp/processors like the DEQX, Anthem, Trinnov and MiniDSP units give you that capability. After you listen to a flat system for a while you can get a feel for what any system is doing just by listening. You also learn what your preferences are and how to make any system sound the way you like. I boost bass by 3dB/oct below 100 Hz. It gives you the feel of a live concert at more reasonable levels. I ramp the treble up 6 dB/oct above 12 kHz to make up for my older hearing. A younger person may not like this.

Other than that one peak in the 40+ range, yout graphs look pretty good. Question, are your speakers rear ported? My KEF’s have 2 rear ports and a couple of different “Tuned” inserts to change the bass characteristics. Back in history, I used small sponges and placed them at different spots in the ports to adjust the bass.

Either way, a MiniDSP should help a lot.

All the best. 

I may have missed something, but describe your sound system.  There are so many knowledgeable people in this discussion group.

In response to:

IMHO, most live performances, especially in rock, electronica and related genres, do not deploy sound engineers that present a realistic sound balance these days. Bass is overweight, often not tight, and consequently the overall sound is poor, sometimes  atrocious. General audiences seem to like the "thump in your chest" bass sound/feeling. However, for home listening it can be very tiresome and disappointing after the initial wow moment has passed.

Thank you,

Had a second look at the graphs and was looking to see if the output is dB(A) weighted? Doesn't look like it. Maybe you can confirm and if not, run the same methodology using the A weighted algorithm. I would be interested to see what these graphs look like.

Kind regards,
