'Absolute flat' is still a target, given the spaces we have to fill as best one may.
I'm pleased enough to get 'relatively flat', but still tweak to taste and the occasional recording. And most being a work in progress anyway doesn't help much. *L*
Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?
The most basic truth of audio for the last 30 years is listeners prefer a flat frequency response. You achieve that through getting the right speakers, in the right position, in the right room, and then use room treatments and DSP to dial it in. If you are posting questions about what gear to buy and have NOT measured your room and dialed it in to achieve a flat frequency response FIRST you are blowing cash not investing cash IMO. Have you measured the frequency response in your room yet and posted it?

@duckworp, yup and the pursuit of one's personal nirvana is pretty much the other name of the game. *G* And, of course, enthusiasm and budget to float ones' boat. ;) I've just grown relaxed about it.... |
kota, I do hope there was a 'no' well-placed in that first sentence to nonoise.... ;) Otherwise, it reads more like we've been wasting our time chasing a chimera instead of sirens....😏 And totally clueless as to the proper means.... I've pursued flat, gotten close to something that resembles that in some way. "Bright' yes, but my personal perception of the world about us it that mostly. The pursuit of 'proper' bass is imho up to ones' preference of the experience and the 'feel' of it within that being reproduced. I know that there are the various 'curves' one can follow, but that tweaking speakers of various sorts to properly track them within rooms of dubious qualities can make you crazy. Auto-eq takes the bulk of that pursuit out of your hands, but generally one will make adjustments to taste anyway.... I have or get what I want for the most part, having pursued 'flat' since the '80s'. You can split hairs only so much for so long that eventually all you've got to show for it is dust.... ;) Anyway...cheers. |
@lordrootman, the nice thing about ’online’ is that no one can twist your arm to buy. ;) I’ll read/listen, but that doesn’t mean a sale or commitment to do so. *S* Never heard of or have heard Audyssey, but no reason to ignore either...*shrug* See which way the tech is drifting... |
