Two tales

In a perfect world, they would be unnecessary. Just as you find in the best symphony halls and other music venues.

In the music system, I am very fortunate to have a dedicated room of favorable dimensions where I have placed a small forest of bass traps and diffusion to provide a good acoustic. It provides good imaging and remarkably neutral response in the bottom several octaves. Sometimes, however, I use the bass contour on the Sound Lab backplate for attenuation with some content.

The HT system, however, involves compromises that many folks face. It lives in a common living space where I don't have the luxury of optimizing speaker placement nor use a range of room treatments. In that environment, I use the Emotiva processor's parametric EQ to provide attenuation for a couple of peaks. There is a null centered around 40 hz, however, that no amount of EQ boost can correct.

I find fixing the room always superior to fixing the signal where possible.
