Asymmetric Room


I have a semi treated asymmetric room & am getting some hash/glare from certain artists. I performed a frequency sweep from Qobuz using “Audio Line-Up Test Tones (Calibration Reference Check)”. I am getting a wavering tone in the 1khz and 1.25khz range.

chatGPT made several recommendations… speaker toe in, seating placement, ceiling treatment & treatment of the pool table on the left side (open area of the room). I can’t change seating position (large L shaped couch) & toe in had no effect. I very much prefer not to treat the ceiling (but will if I have to). 

My system & room layout is loaded. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

Also, remember not all recordings were properly recorded so if you are getting harshness from a few recordings, then I would chalk it up to a bad production.

Bob, thanks. Possibly. Doesn’t explain the frequency sweep issues on 2 specific frequencies. I do think I have a problem. Thanks
@knock1 Thanks. Did not fix the issue, but did sound darker. Any elegant solutions for covering the TV, I am all ears. 
 

Eliminating all toe in helped with glare, but not as precise instrument placement. Still searching. Thanks
