Could you give an example of how to proceed?Placing away from walls has several advantages like better imaging which cannot really be corrected by DSP/EP, but the question posed here didn't leave that option but only placement close to the wall and there I still repeat that reasonable EQing is the better option than just hoping to find a loudspeaker with the perfect inverse room response.
Here is an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RiuwqzjqlQCould you give an example of how to proceed?
Stereophile had a review of their floorstanding speakers. Their measurements were awful. The manufacture wrote back saying it was because nearfield measurements don’t correctly capture their complex output, only in room. John Atkinson replyed pointing out that in room measurements were made and shown and they were poor.
Thanks. So OP is supposed to buy a measurement mic and learn to use REW.Here is an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RiuwqzjqlQ
As I had written in the initial post this is just one option, he could also get some active loudspeakers / studio monitors which have some reasonable adjustable PEQs and filters and then even adjust them using just his smartphone and a pink noise tracks, which would be less precise but a more fast and easy way. Or even use an AVR or stereo amp with room correction included, many ways lead to Rome.Thanks. So OP is supposed to buy a measurement mic and learn to use REW.
I agree it is a good idea, provided he has the time and will to do so
Which smartphone app do you use? Measure each speaker or both at the same time?As I had written in the initial post this is just one option, he could also get some active loudspeakers / studio monitors which have some reasonable adjustable PEQs and filters and then even adjust them using just his smartphone and a pink noise tracks, which would be less precise but a more fast and easy way.

If the OP chooses that way I can provide him more info, for now its superfluous as it also depends on the hardware (DSP/PEQ/loudspeaker) he would choose.Which smartphone app do you use? Measure each speaker or both at the same time?
It's OP's first message here. I think clear and simple guidelines should be given. Your video gives a good way but still not something you can do without hours of work.
Yes but I'm also interested in the app.If the OP chooses that way I can provide him more info, for now its superfluous as it also depends on the hardware (DSP/PEQ/loudspeaker) he would choose.
Buchardt S400 works well near the wall. Be ready to use room EQ to tame boominess from putting speakers near the wall. Black line is speakers set to Large (no bass management, in-room).

For exaple AudioTool and RTA Pro.Yes but I'm also interested in the app.
Agree, that's just the baseline.Black line doesn't look like too much bass to me. I'd probably EQ it up even more than that.
D&D 8c.
Kii 3, with our without BXT.
Gradient 1.4.
Quite a lot of Genelecs with sam.
A lot of Kef's come with optional port plugging for close to wall, some other companies offer similar.
Old Linn and Naim were always designed for this placement.
The not quite out yet GGNTKT are.
Sadly too few others.
