>Read the Asylum FAQ on speaker placement methods.
Hi David. Will do. I've seen enough evidence with my rudimentary tests to know that their reaction within a space can change what I hear.
> Speaker placement is important too, but not..
Hi Ethan. Yes, this is a different context than David's above! I see your point, and the point that bass traps will be a good investment.
>Your room is surely much worse than what's shown in those plots. The third-octave frequencies on that CD are way too coarse to see the true detail. Most rooms the size of yours have peak/null spans of 30 dB or even more, and the peaks and nulls are often very close together. All that is hidden at 1/3 octave.
OK, so I fired up REW. All I can say is wow. After about an hour I had things calibrated, and the initial tests seemed close to what I had plotted a few days back...that is, until I zoomed in. Ouch! The magnitude of some of my problems was bigger than I thought! You were right on. Ah well, lots to do.
>Software like REW or ETF is much better than static tones at third octave intervals.
Proven to me very quickly!
Many thanks to you both.
