In Room Frequency Response Measurements

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.

Glai, agreed some of us have gone to the trouble to actually measure RT60. Freq response and acoustic decay are the kind of things that are as important as any component in a system, however, you will find precious few here that will agree - for most this is a hobby about collecting expensive gear, as opposed to a more balanced pursuit of overall sound quality.

Yes, I was down that road before. Without proper room acoustics, collecting gear is still fun as I can get different version of suck. If anything, I have become a better seller and buyer.

When I saw how moderately priced gear can make such great sound in a proper room, my collecting days were numbered.

RT60 is a must. I was tweeking my room last week. Sound was too lean but an even freq response was still maintained. It was due to lack of reverb in 150-400hz. The wood tone died out much faster than the high frequencies. Reduced two traps and proper tonal balance was restored. Meanwhile, there is no change in the frequency response.
