Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?

I have recently purchased a mic and I’m running REW to test my room response. These are the resulting charts:

I hear nice tight bass when I play music. I hear a big improvement over my previous speakers. The mid range and treble sound great and again the bass sounds articulate and tight. I would think this would be boomy and muddled. Unfortunately, I did not have the ability to test my previous speakers. The room is treated with GIK panels, but I have no bass traps in the corners due to the spouse approval factor. Am I a horrible listener that can’t hear this, or am I missing something else?

It's the wall v. no wall on the bass, but if you're happy with it.....well left alone.

An eq would allow for leveling the bottom out, matching the response to one or the other. That could bring in the 'boom' that you don't seem to be missing though.

Personally, I like flat response, so the rest looks great to me....

Enjoy away, J
