I let the median slope of my system in room determine the curve.
Basically, how my room/speaker presents a slope is what I target. so it depends on the overall average of your 7.2.2 system
for my 2.4 system, has a tilt of roughly -1dB/Oct tilt from 20 to 20kHz in my space as determined by how the speakers interact with my space
I tend to do this:
-
Take 9–13 measurements in a tight pattern around the primary listening position.
-
Look at the "Average" measured response.
-
Adjust the Dirac target nodes so they sit roughly in the middle of the measured "hair" of the high-frequency response.
-
If the sound feels thin, add a 4–6dB shelf starting around 100 Hz–150 Hz and sloping down to 0dB by 400 Hz.
-
Use a tool like REW (Room EQ Wizard) with a calibrated mic to verify the result with independent sweeps, looking specifically at the Step Response and Waterfall plots to ensure time-domain improvements.
TLDR, depends on what you want to achieve and if you want to remove the character of the speaker itself
