Room correction room system vs ears….

So, I splashed out and spent more than I wanted to on a nice little Benchmark amp and preamp etc and since I’ve gone that far I got curious about a room correction system for this and it’s going to cost me over a grand apparently. As far as I can gather these dial in the music before it comes out of the speakers…?

 

im wondering if I simply messed around and found the sweet spot without a room correction system how much of a difference this would make. I’m far from savvy with audio and try to keep things simple for my simple brain, so, on a scale of 1-10 how much difference would I percieve by splashing out on a room correction system?

On the lighter side of things, I find putting my bookshelfs on the end of my mattress and then pulling the sheets over my head works wonders.

I’m guessing that makes it easier to reach your books without getting out of bed, I might try it.

soix , good question. Those front L-C-R speakers are ported and when I tried placing panels behind them it absorbed too much high frequency info and sounded flat.

I always assumed that rear ports were not carrying a lot of high frequency content.

@holmz , I assumed that rear ports were for low frequency but just found in my room the high frequencies sounded flat when I had the an absorption panel right behind the speaker.

@kota1 - I still do not understand what you mean?

What do you mean… and how do the ports apply to the statement:

  1. The panels decreasing the distance, causes the port to reinforce gthe bass more?
  2. The panels suck out later reflections, and the ports have nothing to do with the brightness?
  3. Or something else?
