Which frequency to adjust if voices/mids give me a headache.


I just picked up an NAD M10 v2 and two sets of speakers (Wharfedale 4.2 and Lintons to try).  I know I'm really sensitive to mids/highs (not sure which).  Voices seem to bother me. I've done Dirac room correction and both sets of speakers still bother me a bit.  These are not bright speakers I know.  

Within Dirac I can adjust some frequencies and then save to the M10.  What frequency should I target first and any thoughts on how many db I should adjust? 

Btw - never had any issues with Diamond 225 speakers.  But I'm ready to upgrade. 

Thanks!

@erik_squires Good question.  I'll listen later and see which voices are the most bothersome.  The room does have a lot of hard surfaces but I've had this problem all my life no matter what room. 

@newbee Thanks I'll try adjusting those frequencies.  

 

I think I found a decent solution for the moment. 

As I mentioned I had the Lintons and the 4.2s.  I did room correction for both.  It turns out I really like the room correction for the 4.2 applied to the Linton speakers.  Goofy, I know but I'm pretty happy right now.  I also pointed the speakers straight ahead and that helps a bit.
