Carl & Kal. I have received a very quick response from Noel Keywood .Hi Gerald,
There is nothing in there of consequence. My measurements show equalisation in the upper midband to raise intelligibility and an apparent sense of clarity. Whether there is time domain e.q I do not know. There is no room LF e.q at all, which is much needed. It is all arbitary, as far as I can see. If there is some good psycho-acoustic theory behind it then all and good. Otherwise, you might as well fiddle with tone controls.
On loudspeaker set up the loudspeakers must sound the same volume to the listener, not to a meter. Meters 'hear' differently to ears (Fletcher Mundson curve, and more), Use an SPL meter initially then use your ears to confirm and make fine adjustments if need be.
AUDYSSEY is for gadget freaks who believe in gadgets and don't understand the primacy of the human listening experience. Measuring equipment, of which we have the most advanced, has an important place but results need interpretation.
best regards
Noel
