In Reply to: RE: The elephant in the room is... posted by Duke on August 24, 2014 at 13:56:14
Suppose we use EQ, etc.., to get the bass sounding smooth only at the listening seat, but not in the entire room...Would it be possible for the ears and/or body to hear and/or feel the presence of unresolved bass issues going on in other areas of the room, while we are in the "resolved" listening seat area?

In addition to what Bill said, you have to be careful when it comes to boosting a dip. You can run out of headroom (speaker or amp) real quick if you try to EQ a deep dip. EQ can make worthwhile improvements, but you're often better off focusing on taming the peaks and only boosting the dips a little if any.

Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.

Not really. That's why it's said that you can't use EQ to fix room modes and cancellation notches. Actually, you can, but as you noted only within a small area. As soon as you move out of that spot the response won't be flat anymore, while the EQ that fills a response dip at one place in the room will create a peak at the same frequency in the rest of the room. Sometimes you can get away with EQ alone, but as often as not you must use at least two subs.
