RE: Ideal frequency response curve


I've been demoing an Anthem MRX 710 receiver. It estimates a "room gain" which effectively boosts the target in the bass for in-room response.

There was an interview by the designer who said that it's your ear & brain that automatically "normalizes-out" (my interpretation) the effect of the room. (like the way your brain normalizes color balance that photographs don't).

So if you equalize something to sound flat anechoically or outside, then it will be tilted towards bass indoors, and this is how it should be.

If it's equalized to be flat indoors, it will sound lousy.
