Help with understanding Stereophile test results.


Hey all,
I ran the Sterophile test tones and just wanted to know if anyone can explain any potential issues based on my numbers, they are as follows:
R L
1K 80 81
200H 68 80
160H 67 78
125H 74 79
100H 74 79
80H 70 74
63H 68 70
50H 67 70
40H 76 73
31.5H 75 76
25H 72 75
20H 65 67
Thanks for any help or insight you can give, Cheers

Those aren't bad numbers. The broad bass dip is not all that substantial and better than any sharp peaks. Room treatment is difficult to nearly impossible in that range but it wouldn't hurt ... too much.

If that 10 dB is really that noticeable, perhaps the best cure would be a Rives PARC or one of the digital equalizers.

Well chosen but modest system. Flat would be optomistic and unrealistic.
