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?

When I look at that graph, boomy does not come to mind but I wonder if over time you will start to feel like the sound lacks life or sounds a bit muffled. It looks like there is a big difference between the bass decay and the mid/high decay even though the response curve is pretty smooth.

 

If you do start feeling that way then maybe some bass traps would help, and otherwise, just enjoy it!
