Hi, fellow audio friends,

I recently had to say goodbye to my beloved old room and am now starting fresh in a new space.
I’ve done some early measurements while the room is still mostly empty. There’s no acoustic treatment yet. Just exposed (unfinished) walls to allow access to the primary insulation (6"), and a perforated ceiling with roughly 20" of thermal insulation above it.

I’m still learning how to properly interpret the graphs, so I’d appreciate some feedback.
SPL seems fairly straightforward, there are some dips that I assume could be addressed with more traps / broadband treatment. What puzzles me is the group delay, which looks strange. Could this be caused by sound leakage or some kind of measurement artifact?

The main thing I’m noticing by ear is weak bass (the speakers are fairly big with 12" units and go down to 30 Hz).

I’m happy to share more room details, photos, or if that would help. I did a sim and it looks similar to measurements.

Thanks in advance!
