Point noted when measuring L+R.

Hmmm interesting... i looked into the L/R and combined Impulse as below. Both are negative but the stereo is positive. I am assuming this is normal. Prefer the sound as per current polarity

Ah ok.. thanks. Is it something I need to fix say by reversing the polarity and/or trying to get better result with the sub with 0deg. Honestly I don't understand the technicality or impact of negative polarity but I have always been pleasantly surprised by little tweaks - all in the ever...

Not sure about the polarity... the Impulse is similar to the Youtube (i.e going on the negative side). My sub Phase is set at 180 deg as it integrates better with my 3-way speaker than at 0 deg.

Forgot to mention - though I followed most steps, I did not update my L and R speakers SPL Offset or adjusting the Impulse for both channels to 0. The SPL required +0.2 and -0.2 (nets to zero imbalance which was nothing). From Impulse analysis, my Right speaker required 27cm away from LP... I...

@Wayne A. Pflughaupt I followed the recently updated PDF under the Youtube video . I did not apply step 4 (Width Cycle: 35) - but rather l did all steps at 1/24th Octave (under All SPL). Also I linearized my speaker specific CrossOver ( as taught by Serkan). In the past, I tried fixing the...

Hey Folks, Thought I share my 2.1 stereo journey. Thanks to REW, have had a lot of changes over time mainly around speaker positioning and its response tweaking. As guided.... it was essential that I get the speakers to level match for any noticeable improvement to yield. I have been trying all...

@serko70 I managed to try out the Phase Inversion technique and played around with the Target slope curve and Target Level. The Impulse measurements allowed me to slightly adjust my speaker toe-in and physical distance from the LP. I have a big dip in the bass section so tried with a lower...

Hi Folks, I just wanted to share my real appreciation of the REW founders and the community in here. Over the years, I have been investing in all types of audio upgrades - speakers, cables, DAC, sources, power feed, etc....Though these made some positive changes, DRC made the MOST significant...

Thanks. I left the microphone intact for all measurements - so unsure on the behaviour and which equipment may be causing the mismatch. I did dial down the mid and high speaker squawker volume to the same level this time. Also the toe-in on the right was more than the left. So I will re-measure...

@moedra We finally got the awning screen installed behind the TV. Ran another measurement as attached (with acoustic timing). The speakers and sub positions moved a little and feel the music has gone slightly more shrill than before. I applied a filter on the first R&L measures which sounded...

I am listening to both filters right now interchangeably through another player (LMS on NAS playing on an Oppo 103 which then goes to my DAC) and now using InguzEQ (instead of BruteFIR). I now find the volume the same for both the House Curve and linear. The difference is EXACTLY what you...

Please refer to my summary above to describe the changes. Lets say I am hearing more details that always seem to be there but now with better separation and transient . I listened to some tracks which were hard to listen before (e.g Lover in Japan by Coldplay or Extreme Ways by Moby) and now...

I do realise the task must be really arduous to achieve what you created - I am a newbie on Rew/technical measurements and have already spent hours and hours but came nowhere close to those filters - so appreciate the hard work you have put in over years and sharing your passion. In regards to...
