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?

It's the wall v. no wall on the bass, but if you're happy with it.....well left alone. An eq would allow for leveling the bottom out, matching the response to one or the other. That could bring in the 'boom' that you don't seem to be missing though. Personally, I like flat response, so the rest looks great to me.... Enjoy away, J |
I use REW and take responses from 4 different points in a 5 ft spread , sometimes just moving the-speakers a few inches can make for better imaging ,and first off the speakers need to be exactly the same distance from the wall behind them and try to get the same toe in ,this alone can take hours after remeasuring after each adjustment. |
@erik_squires Misjudged the graph. Thanks. Re:
This was true for me until I used the graphs to improve the response. Then, I was MORE pleased with what I heard. In other words, graphs are useful if you want to improve the sound. If you prefer to not bother, then graphs are a waste of time. |
