What's a reasonable listening position response curve?


Taking room accoustics into account, what is an acceptable frequency response curve? What plus and minus dB is considered acceptable? Can you share yours.

Most amplifiers go to 10. So when they're playing and they need a little extra, where do they go? Nowhere. That's why ours go to 11.

 

If this doesn't clear it up for you remember the immortal words of Bruce Dickenson:

 

Au contrere mon frere I have not the slightest idea what you’re talking about.

That chart by the way, says right on the graph that is the Harman audio test system. This is the system they use to test their customers. If you think this is flat enough they know how much they can charge and you’ll never hear the difference. There are exceptions, but double-blind testing has proven to within statistical margins of error that all audiophiles are able to detect irony, the only question being the threshold level. In this case we may have to go to Spinal Tap 11.

PS- please verify you are not a robot.

Um yeah. Your system should measure flat to within .01dB or it will be unlistenable. EQ does not alter sound except to make it perfect. I am totally serial.🙄

Is that the eye-roll? I can never figure out which one is the eye-roll.

Human beings can hear 0.1dB so the maximum tolerable variance is at most +/- 0.05dB, and I would go .01 just to be sure. Remember, sound quality is 110% entirely determined by frequency response. It is totally worth whatever EQ it takes to get this dialed in. EQ circuits do not alter sound in any way other than to make it perfect.
