Great, thank you very much for taking the time to help me. I'll leave the FBQ2496 settings as is.

Hi John, Thank you for the help, it's much appreciated. From what you can see, does it look like the effects of the new couch on the room acoustics are notably different compared to the effects of the old couch on the room acoustics? Are there any distinct differences that I should be aware...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me out again. The surface of the couch in my control room was disintegrating (it was a faux leather couch I got about 10 or so years ago), so I had to replace the couch with a new one. This time I got a genuine leather couch, so hopefully I won't have...

Hi John, I just wasn't sure if there was some deeper reason you suggested the 2 dB reduction that I was unaware of. My understanding of acoustics is minimal and I know the science behind acoustics can get intense. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with all of this. I really...

Here are the new REW tests (see descriptions of the tests in the above post). Is anything useful happening? If so could you please describe what you see? The room sounds good in both cases. If there's no major difference I will probably leave the settings as they were but I would appreciate...

It's been a busy few weeks but I ended up making the 2 dB tweak you suggested to Filter 10 (570.2 Hz) in my FBQ2496 where I adjusted the gain by -2.0 dB. The first three tests iterate through Left satellite + Sub, Right satellite + sub, and All speakers on with the filter unchanged (the tests...

So I decided to go with the original carpet replacement in the Part 2 file in my first post (also in Part 1 and Part 2 of the second post) but I did add the stand on my desk (see attached photo). I'm wondering whether having this stand will cause early reflection issues or some other kind of...

Thanks for the quick reply again and willingness to help John. It's much appreciated. Thanks for clarifying. I decided to go with another carpet and I have a stand coming in for my keyboard and mouse so I'll run some tests with those in place and the extra 2 dB cut. Should be a week or so...

Hi John, Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I had both speakers playing. Here are some new tests. Part 1 is various speaker arrangements (Sub Only, L + Sub, R + Sub, and ALL ON) with the FBQ2496 in bypass mode. Part 2 is the same speaker arrangements with the FBQ2496 filter set active (each...

Hi everyone, I have a home studio and worked with an acoustic designer to build it. He designed it and I did the construction. Throughout the process, I used REW to coordinate the status of the control room to him (he lives halfway around the world). I'm very grateful for this software and how...
