In Reply to: Have you measured the bass response? posted by Stephen on November 17, 2004 at 16:04:57:
no room is flat. unless a room has more than a 30 degree flair there will always be some sort of bump and some sort of suckout at the listening position. and with a 30+ degree flair there would all kinds of other negative issues.unfortunately, on the long center axis there will always be a null point and a reinforcement point. since for soundstageing purposes that long axis is where you want the listening position, it then becomes a matter of degrees of null and reinforcement. the best designed rooms have the least problems here.
in my case i have a mild 'bump' at 134hz and a mild 'hole' at 80hz (both 4db to 5db). there are bandaids for the bump (heimholtz resonator) and possible solutions for the 'hole'. after living with the room for a few weeks it is not likely i will pursue any corrective action. this measured 'non-linearity' is so minor that i almost never perceive it. and it is debatable that solving these issues would actually result in better sound.
BTW, Rives said that above 134hz my room was the flatest they had ever measured......for whatever that is worth......and the tonal balance pretty much holds where ever you are in the room.
i will never consider DSP as an option.
