Not posting curves, but I designed my speakers to follow the Bruel & Kjaer recommended room curves. Yes, as Troels Graveson has written, sometimes when you make a speaker you end up finding the ideal listening position is not the ideal measurement position. In the case of the SNR-1 they just sound much better on the m id-woofer axis.
Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?
The most basic truth of audio for the last 30 years is listeners prefer a flat frequency response. You achieve that through getting the right speakers, in the right position, in the right room, and then use room treatments and DSP to dial it in. If you are posting questions about what gear to buy and have NOT measured your room and dialed it in to achieve a flat frequency response FIRST you are blowing cash not investing cash IMO. Have you measured the frequency response in your room yet and posted it?

@erik_squires , great example of how you dialed in the FR you wanted before chasing gear to get better SQ. Did you use the mic that came with your receiver for your measurements or something else? |
@kota1 I used OmniMic for the speaker analysis, and XSim for crossover simulation. |
@erik_squires , nice job on the attention to detail :) I was using audyssey and it was better than nothing. Then I used the room treatment method that Anthony Grimani discusses in that video I posted earlier and it was infinitely better. Got my MLP setup to the specs laid out by dolby required moving the MLP from the back of the room to the middle of the room. Finally I made the leap to the pro version of Audyssey, got the kit with the calibrated mic and the license upgrades and finally achieved what I wanted. All in it was much less expensive than buying a new processor. |
