I wish I had started measuring my in room response much earlier. I just started about 2 months ago. You have no idea what you are dealing with until you get some measurements. The difference I have achieved in my bass response, the overall sound, and imaging just by using measurements and making adjustments to my speaker location, seating location and bass trap locations, has been huge.
In one location I was achieving 0db at 28hz and -3db at 24hz from stand mounted speakers with a 7” midbass driver. My initial measurements, where my speakers had been for 6 months, I was -7db from 40hz-200hz.
If you arent even going to use dsp, taking measurements of your system to see where you are at is really helpful to achieving better sound
