What happened to my room acoustics


I measured the spectrogram for my room at my MLP, and the FFT results are as follows:

- There is a roll-off before 20kHz.

- A dip is present around 12kHz.

- There is a noticeable boost between 50Hz and 1.5kHz.

- The bass rolls off around 33Hz at -3dB, consistent with the factory rating.

Comparing these measurements to the Burchardt measurements, there are some differences:

- It doesn’t exhibit a roll-off before 20kHz.

- The dip is around 15kHz.

- The boost between 50Hz and 1.5kHz is not as pronounced as in my room.

I’m curious about what might be happening with my room acoustics. If a fix is possible, what would it entail?

To add to all of this...if using stands... spikes tightened?...leveling speakers helps? fwiw.

 

Yeah ive heard of people using the moon blobs...ill trust your not on carpeted floor like i am...were i want stands coupled to floor with spikes.Thanks...glw project.

If you are on carpet and they are not hitting floor/pierced then your not coupled to floor (stand to floor)...your resting on the floor with do dads spikes...subwoofer decouplers.It more than makes for better bass...sound stage Clarity,Depth,tone,ect.

Nothing to loose.

Sorry for having strong feelings on this...but it was what saved my system/and my speakers from the chopping block.I read an article in galen carol website..."everything matters".This was after searching for some answers on setup.Turned out just some loose spikes under sound anchor stands...Tightened them down/re setup speakers....Totally transforming.Sound stage snapped in,had tight bass,ect.I had to redo setup a skosh... but the work was worth the effort.Sorry for add butt...
