Room Acoustics Problem?


By Audiogon standards, I have a mid-level system with Brystons (BP-25, 7B-STs), Thiel CS6's and the Perpetual Technology DACs (posted not too long ago on Virtual Systems). I'm annoyed by a saturated sounding mid-range and was exploring some options with the help of fellow Agoners on other posts. Then, I ran into Sean's March 3 post on how to run a more accurate frequency distribution reading with the Radio Shack SPL meter and the Stereophile CD. Here goes: At an 80db base, 20-25 Hz is OK, 32-50 drops off to -6db, 3db spike at 63, 80-315 OK, 3db drop at 400, 500-4000 OK, 4-6 db spike at 5000 & 6300, 10000 OK, 12500 and over drops off like crazy (3 moving to 10 db). OK is defined as plus or minus 2db. Does this sound like a room acoustics problem? Big room, lots of cushy furniture, hard wood floor. Is there something else I should be looking at? Help! Thanks in advance.

Bob,

How much di dthe Tact cost?

I have spectral equipment and eidolons. Do you notice any difference in the sound that is not desirous by using the tact and having anothe rpiece of electronics fo rteh signal to run through?
Also what is your experience with acoustic treatments. I am loathe to shell out for big expensice tub etraps and I am wondering if there is another cheaper but good alternative.

Thanks
