  Can You explain more of what You mean by some like it more fat in the bass?
  
  It's easy to interpret it like flat is the right sound.
  The truth is rather not if You listen to a recording through flat measured frequency and compare it to real life.
  
  Also, a flat frequency response does not take dynamic compression into account.
  A frequency plot is only telling You about the frequency balance at a specific db continuous output.

    A microphone is a very simple device compared to our hearing. An in-room measurement should never be flat at the listening position. A psycho-acoustic flat response is something different! That is what we want and it is not a straight line in a diagram. This could be a good start, http://i47.tinypic.com/rrt8yd.jpg , maybe a bit more in the low bass region. This is for pink noise measurement.

      Depends, you want your FM curve anechoic or at the listening position, the microphone is just a tool, what you may or may not like has nothing to do with the FR being flat.

      I dont think -8 db at 12K would work for me at the listening position, then again it's pink noise from a stereo pr, so it's not the same and the droop at 10K is normal due to being off axis to tweeters and stereo phasing.

      
      Then again you are using a simple microphone with pinknoise ... :)
