When you measure nearfield it’s to measure the speaker’s response and the goal is to NOT have room mode interference. When you measure at the listening position the goal is to measure how the room modes are affecting the sound.

You have an endless array of insurmountable acoustic problems built into your room. You would be better off with a different room.

That is one of the best systems on Earth. (I heard it at a capaudiofest)

The woofers are 18” driver H frame open baffle current xover setting 79 hz, they play flat down to 20 hz, so they are subwoofers but not for slam and movie effects, but for articulate bass with great tone… the system is a stereo. I care not one whit about home theater, but I do care about good...

I have a system that uses both of those model amps. I love the drivecore amp for my woofers, XLS, and don’t like it for the main speaker. I love the XLI a/b style amp for the mains and find no joy from it when used with the woofers. go with the drivecore class D amp and make a power cord with...

This is hard to parse.... because your supplied measurements are with EQ in use, correct? (you said it's all controlled by a mini DSP) It is not possible to make good comments on the room acoustics when EQ is in use. So, because of that, I can't help at this time, but... I will put a few things...

Groovy, a note, you still have serious acoustic issues. cheers.

I'm not going to even read the other responses, as they are all wrong. Your issue is fairly straight forward, the solution is not. First, you have B&W speakers with the tweeter on top, the tweeter is on top so you have 360 tweeter dispersion. 2nd, B&W speakers are super hard to set up, they are...

Not really. I mean, sure, glue mass loaded vinyl to parts or other things to change the apparent density of the object in order to change it's resonant frequency hoping to drop it down to a not a problem frequency. The cost of doing so would be so much more than the cost of the furniture it's...

Take it out of the room. I'm serious. You really do not want anything with 5 sides in the room, and this is a 5 sided box full of 5 sided boxes. 5 sided boxes have resonances based on their dimensions and materials, which is always going to be bad... No hutches, fireplaces, old speakers with...

Do you have a spare subwoofer? If you do, put it against the back wall, facing the back wall, about 1-1.5 inches out, and delay the signal by the distance to the speaker to the back wall, invert the phase. If you do it right (timing, response curve, volume) you should not be able to hear it, but...

Sure, lots of people. There are many ways to approach ProFi (what I call it). You can just do it with any consumer amp or whatever, or get active units and use your phone. Simple and something, not sure what it will be, so many variables. The advantages of pro speakers is they handle power, not...

My description was incomplete, regardless, what I am doing is exactly what that unit is doing, a mechanical air pump working opposite the sound signal to counter pressure build up, difference is that unit uses a mic and I use the signal, I did/do concede that your unit is a better and also...

In my efforts nothing passive actually works. If it does work it's more miracle than anything else, see, the problem with using so much passive absorption is that it's not/never linear through the frequencies, so you'll likely remove valuable musical tone before you effect a solution. The other...

Are your units open faced, as in no membrane? Have you listened to this yet, or just measuring?
