Looks terrific!

Any reason you chose 1/3 smoothing? Let’s see 1/12 or psychoacoustic.

@billm256 would love to see your FR results (and more, such as ETC) when you have them. I’ve heard your speakers at Axpona and they’re very interesting.

Congratulations, John. Can’t wait to try it out.

Here we go after extensive tuning of the subwoofer phase (105 deg), crossover (75, 24 db slope) and internal eq. Also a little eq courtesy of my preamp, but not digitally. Room is 17 W x 23 L x 9 H. Speakers are 104" apart nearly centered along the long wall (22" from wall) and both are 121"...

I tried both random and periodic with different sizes. With lower sizes I could hear pulsing, but didn’t seem to change the results much. Any comments there? I’ll rerun the analysis and post files if there are still important differences.

I most likely did not - where is that setting? Also, would that affect just the slope, or otherwise, what would you make of the differences in nulls/spikes?

I measured my system using the sweep method and then using pink noise. There were some pretty large differences, especially where the pink noise method showed a dramatic downslope from about 300 hz to 20k. There was also more LF nulls using the sweep method and a spike around 200hz using pink...

Funny story: I just did a moving mike test on my own listening room. I did it with and without a person sitting in the primary listening position. Then I left the mike on a tripod and repeated the measurement. There were barely a handful of ripples of differences between the three trials...

I’m not familiar with Audiolense, but using the guidance from Harman research, the ideal in-room curve is downward-sloped 10 db from about 200hz to 20k hz. Regarding the "two-ears needs two measurements" question, multiple measurements are better but not because of two ears. It’s because you...

Smoothing option in REW graph.

Yes. Also, try applying psychoacoustic smoothing and check the results. Almost certainly inaudible. You might end up pulling down some of the HF bumps to get a proper downslope. Otherwise your curves look outstanding.

In the US, legal costs may be apportioned by contract or by the court. Often, the winner has their costs covered. In Australia a plaintiff has to post a bond for the defendant’s costs when filing their claim. That is a huge deterrent to filing a valid claim, as a corporate defendant will have...

It does seem trivial, but it was indisputably false advertising. The damages (if any, in this case) are small on an individual basis, but there was deception in principle. One can imagine a bigger star or other falsehood driving first week traffic before the public realizes the deception and...

First off, I’m terribly jealous, not only of all your gear, but your ability to use that stuff. Very cool! I have a couple questions: - what is the source of the frequencies below 40 Hz, as I doubt those speakers generate it? - have you compared with the door closed and open? - have you tried...
