Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?

The most basic truth of audio for the last 30 years is listeners prefer a flat frequency response. You achieve that through getting the right speakers, in the right position, in the right room, and then use room treatments and DSP to dial it in. If you are posting questions about what gear to buy and have NOT measured your room and dialed it in to achieve a flat frequency response FIRST you are blowing cash not investing cash IMO. Have you measured the frequency response in your room yet and posted it?

Amplitude at frequency is one piece of the puzzle. The real question is where the dip or bump is. From 1.5k to 3k a bump will create a bright speaker and a dip will create a polite speaker. 
 

Having said that measurements can be misleading as microphones include the direct and indirect sound…microphones are stupid compared to our brains.

As long as the reflections are delayed a bit, our brains can separate out the direct and indirect sound. 

When people make manual adjustments to frequency response based off a microphone, mids and treble can sound off as the direct sound is being altered, potentially making things worse.
