Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?

kota, I do hope there was a 'no' well-placed in that first sentence to nonoise.... ;)  Otherwise, it reads more like we've been wasting our time chasing a chimera instead of sirens....😏  And totally clueless as to the proper means....

I've pursued flat, gotten close to something that resembles that in some way.  "Bright' yes, but my personal perception of the world about us it that mostly.  The pursuit of 'proper' bass is imho up to ones' preference of the experience and the 'feel' of it within that being reproduced.

I know that there are the various 'curves' one can follow, but that tweaking speakers of various sorts to properly track them within rooms of dubious qualities can make you crazy.  Auto-eq takes the bulk of that pursuit out of your hands, but generally one will make adjustments to taste anyway....

I have or get what I want for the most part, having pursued 'flat' since the '80s'.  You can split hairs only so much for so long that eventually all you've got to show for it is dust.... ;)

Anyway...cheers.

I do believe that there are other more important elements to your sound than a flat frequency response.  Yes, boomy bass or harsh top-end is intolerable, but I would put soundstage, timing, coherence, dynamics, and musicality way above a flat frequency response in terms of desirability.  
 

The attraction of aiming for a flat (or bespoke) frequency response is that it is entirely measurable and achievable for anyone via DSP, and largely component-independent if done electronically or through room correction. Fine-tuning it to perfection appeals particularly to those who like to measure stuff.   The other audio nirvanas (soundstage, timing etc.) listed in my paragraph above are more component-dependent and not measurable and explain precisely why upgrading or changing equipment is the route most travelled.  

 

@duckworp, yup and the pursuit of one's personal nirvana is pretty much the other name of the game. *G*

And, of course, enthusiasm and budget to float ones' boat. ;)  I've just grown relaxed about it....

My hifi room is uncorrected by any digital nannies (I use a Loki EQ for my headphones only) and my system sounds astoundingly good in its room with a what I suppose is called a "room sound." Music generally takes place in rooms if it's played by actual non digital instruments (as opposed to a synth played through headphones), and that sounds like real life in my earballs. I have some vibration pods here (they keep things from slipping around) and there but I really don't think vibration is such an enemy (my powered subs have the amps in the box with the speakers...horrifying!). If you live in a metal water tower or a shipping container with no furniture,  you could have room issues...otherwise, room treatment obsession seems unnecessary...get some furniture maybe...a rug...sheep...
