This is the first time I read that "Audyssey frequently nerfs your bass." Ok., I'm not the big Audyssey expert. But in my system, Audyssey worked well to equalize bass response to linear. Unfortunately nowadays, after many years of walking around with headphones or in ears with extremely - and...

I had a similar "need" 2 years ago. After trying several older and not so old CD and a few SACD players that were on offer in my town I found out that the SACD and most of the newer CD players need considerably longer to read the CD after inserting it, until they start playing music, compared to...

If this ever becomes an international standard I will be particularly interested to see what lengths cables will be available. Current high speed cable like USB C / Thunderbolt or (true, 48GBPS) HDMI 2.1 cables longer than 6' / 2m are really hard to find, or very expensive. I am already looking...

No subscriptions, saves money :T I stream only what is availabe for free, using computer, smartphone, a webradio (from Technisat) and HEOS on the Denon AVR X4500H, from sources like Youtube, Soundcloud and webradio stations, via TuneIn.

Same here (although for me it's "only" 45 years :) ). I remember buying some used LPs back in the 80s of which one was very dusty and sounded miserable. I then washed it in warm water with dishwashing detergent then wiped it dry with I don't remember what. This improved it a lot, but not quite...

I did that now and got much better results. It is not perfect, but that was expected. I will now continue with the 2nd woofer in the second (left) position.

We are talking about our living room here. We are not always listening from the same position - quite on the contrary. I identified 9 more or less typical listening positions that I then defined as spots to take my measurements. If you know Denon AVRs, they also take measurements from 9...

Thinking about this I wonder where is the real difference between house and room curve. Both basically "bend" the (theoretical) HiFi ideal of a perfectly flat FR, just for different reasons - ???

With a (truely:redgrin:) flat target the EQ gives me many filters, more than my DSP accepts per (output) channel. I had to reduce the target flatness to 3dB to get the number down to 8 which I can enter into the DSP. I will make a new series of measurements and compare again.

Thanks a lot, that was the piece of information I had forgotten. Now that I see it (again) I remember that I experimented with house curves long ago, but then concluded that I better target a flat response... and forgot about the house curves:gulp: Until your "reminder" I thought house curve =...

When I click help > Check for updates now I get "REW is up to date".

My target response is a plain flat line. And I'm not adding a house curve, as can be seen in this (excerpt from above) screenshot:

I don't have Klippel test equipment, therefore I can't make comparable measurements. My setup is a Windows laptop running REW, a Focusrite Scarlet 8i6 USB soundcard, an ISEMcon EMX-7150 test microphone and a Technics SE-9021 main amp.

No, this is a 6 inch Woofer - Reckhorn D165i - in a DIY closed box with 27 liters / ~ 1cft. What gave you the idea that this could be a JBL 305P?

Thank you, John! The filters produced by REW often puzzled me in other cases, but until yesterday they always turned out to produce a significant improvement of the FR. I wasn't aware of the possibilty to define my own driver target until now but defined one now. And I manually set the target...
