thanks for your input guys. I thought so too that these foam thingies won't trap any bass. But I thought I would ask others as well.

what do you guys think about these Acoustic Foam Bass Traps from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQN7JFRH Do you think they would even do anything?

The rug definitely out of the question, with little kid and animals it would be to hard to keep the room clean. It does sound good when you do not have anything to compare against. Before I added mini-dsp to EQ the sub, base was way too loud, but now it is fine. Improvement in the speech...

No idea how that is possible, only left speaker output was selected. Maybe you are referring to the subwoofer and the Left speaker? Also, my room has a lot of reflections, maybe that was the case?

So I did few more tests yesterday. With the sliding door open (normal listening situation), door closed, and sofa moved about 1ft away from the wall. I also added make shift foam diffuser panel on the mirror wall. In my untrained opinion the graphs look about the same if not worst. What am I...

What I have to do, is to make sure that the HDMI cable is connected to the laptop and to the receiver (receiver powered on) before turning the laptop on.

Maybe higher end Onkyo receivers have the option to do some EQ. Mine only has the AutoEQ option with the factory provided mic. I should post the frequency responses here with and without Auto EQ to see if smart people would see any difference. When I looked at it, it did not had any noticeable...

Thanks for your input, that will make my speaker selection much easier if you also think that both speakers are about the same. It is absolutely not the option so switch the room around. Just so I have an idea, how would switching the room help to improve the audio? Unfortunately Base traps out...

I looked at the Distortion tab. From what I have read before I should be looking at 3rd Harmonic and THD. Is that correct procedure? Can you explain what those graphs mean? It is very possible that the car was driving near by when I took the measurement. I do live near busy road. To add to your...

Thanks for your input AudiocRaver. I see your point about speaker B with port closed. However, when looking at the waterfall (not that I understand a lot) for the speaker B with port closed, it looks like it has the highest and longest lasting peaks out of all 3 measurements, continuing past...

No, I measured only Left channel and by physically swapping the speakers.

Hello, Based on the frequency response below, would you choose speaker A or B for the LR speakers in the 5.1 system. Both speakers were crossed at 80hz to the sub at the receiver. Measured at MLP Also, what are those big dips at about 350hz and 2khz regions? Must be room modes? Any way to...

That makes so much more sense now. I was going crazy scratching my head on why I am getting different results when nothing got changed. Thanks for taking time to explain it. if only it could be that easy to correct the 10db bump around 50_60hz that I have from the room mode. I guess only...

Understood, thanks. So basically the way I have everything set is as good as it is going to be. Regarding difference in timings(for the last graph) , I guess REW for some reason is suggesting extra wavelength, instead of the negative delay to reach the same goal.

Thanks for your input jtalden. I am also able to get almost identical SPL graph by using these settings (my crossover is set to 80hz in receiver). By selecting 80hz on the graph and clicking "Align phase at cursor". Does it mean my sub is almost aligned to the mains? My previous question...
