Ok, I will set up some baseline measurements. Then go from there. Thank you to all that have helped me get this far.

Thank You, There seems to be a dip at 65.7Hz ? Would that be room effect ? I have 2 bass traps in the corners behind the speakers. Now should I take all treatment out and re test?

I ended up getting a UMIK-1. Totally different results.

Thanks for that. It makes sense now. Here is the measurement. Same drop off at 7kHz. My speakers are working through the sweep. The high pitch eats at your brain, so to speak.

Hi, yes, sorry I got confused on creating the file. I am re-reading the directions now. Do I disconnect my laptop from the HDMI going to my receiver? I would be using the laptop independently of the speakers, except for the recording of the tone sweep? Laptop + mic only. I tried using Alexa to...

Yes, perhaps I have a bad iMM-6. I even tried using a usb sound card. No difference. Still 7kHz drop.

The iMM-6 uses a 3.5mm TRRS connector cable. I was using a 25-foot extension cable. I have returned the iMM-6. I have a Sonarworks SoundID XLR mic ordered.

Well, I swapped out tweeters, re soldered my crossovers. Then swapped out for a different speaker. No difference in my measurements. So this is a software or hardware problem. Not my speakers, thankfully. Edit: Seems the microphone has a limit a 7kHz. I will order a dsp-umik-1.

You are right. Looking at the designer's chart, I realize that the mid-bass is performing correctly. The tweeters are not working, as you suggested earlier.

Well, the designer was not helpful at all. I am not impressed with him. For the cost of the kit, very disappointing. Lesson learned. I have done a new test, mind you, I have my room treatment partially in. I think the dip is from my sound card. The chances of both tweeters not functioning...

Thank you, I have contacted the designer of the speakers, and waiting to see if I made a wiring error.

Thanks, my mic is not a USB. It is the TRRS type little mic, IMM-6. I am leaning towards purchasing a UMM-6 USB mic.

Hi ddude003, Thanks for the suggestion. I will try this and post the results.

Thanks, Yes, I do find creating things with my own hands very satisfying. DIY is not necessarily cheaper as it is more of a personal goal, experience, and hobby. I still have the Clouds to build, and the back wall to address.

Thanks, Todd. No pre-builts yet. I have sent my room results to GIK and Prime Acoustic to see what diffusers, if any, they suggest. I have just leaned a few panels against the wall at the first reflection, then down the 1 wall. This has made a difference already in the sound stage. I have a few...
