In Room Frequency Response Measurements

One has to wonder what they did to compensate for the natural roll off of the highs that would exist. Cone speakers droop fairly fast as the distance increases. Not so much for panels/electrostats I think. I recall many years ago trying to get FFR at the listening position with some cone speakers that were +/- 2db a 2 meters. It took an equalizer and sounded way too bright and unnatural.

What type of speakers were they?

I listen in the near field, prefer flat, but rather a roll-off than a lift.

freq response is only one parameter, big difference how you look at the data ( different smoothing alogorithm, narrow band vs wide band problems ) and interpret them. IMHO, a even decay across the entire freq spectrum is more important. Not only bass amplitude or also bass reverb will change your preference in treble frequency response. If there is lots of comb filtering problems or resonance, you mostly would rather have less of the treble. You need a good mic or at least self correction algorithm to measure treble freq correctly.

Glai, good point about even frequency response decay.
