I may have missed something, but describe your sound system. There are so many knowledgeable people in this discussion group.
Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?
I have recently purchased a mic and I’m running REW to test my room response. These are the resulting charts:
I hear nice tight bass when I play music. I hear a big improvement over my previous speakers. The mid range and treble sound great and again the bass sounds articulate and tight. I would think this would be boomy and muddled. Unfortunately, I did not have the ability to test my previous speakers. The room is treated with GIK panels, but I have no bass traps in the corners due to the spouse approval factor. Am I a horrible listener that can’t hear this, or am I missing something else?

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, BP

@bobpyle , you need to attend smaller venues like the Blue Note in NYC and The Regata Bar in Boston. Rock concerts are Mono PA sound are worthless for evaluating home system. Fortunately, most live recordings are taken off the sound board and mixed like any other recording. Lifelike sounding bass is lifelike whether you like it or not. If you don't like it you do not belong here. I suggest you visit a Bose Forum actually that is not fair to Bose. You should find a forum that talks about computer speakers. Those do not have much bass. Just your speed.
