House Curve Tinkering

[Dan Twomey]

I'm posting this for fun and discussion. As my comfort level with REW increased I decided to tackle a house curve. My system and room was very 'bright' so I decided to tackle high frequencies
first and tune the bass later. On my first attempt to tame things down a bit I decided to go with a 2db downward slope starting at 1000hz. This made a noticeable improvement but I'm certain
that it's not going to be the final product. A couple of pics below.

Mine is a bit more drastic... but it sounds fabulous... left + right mains.

I think I have the HF part of the curve off to a good start so I've started tinkering with the bass. I lowered the LF to 100hz with 3db boost. The last curve seemed a bit boomy in the bass.

Over a 2 year period I played with Target Curves in an ideal experimental environment here. A Studio in a house, with three different play systems in domestic rooms.
Ultimately and surprisingly I have ended up with B&K. The turnover frequencies changed tone remarkably audibly. I think I settled on 2000Hz. This presents vocals and most instruments more and better to my ear than 1000

A good suggestion though if I've learn anything so far it's that each, system, room ,and listener are unique.

So how would you catch a unique rabbit?

My system consists of line arrays which offer unique challenges when compared to your average point sources?
