An objectivist psychoacoustician PhD AES scientist professor and measurement taker was teaching a class on Harvey Fletcher, a known physicist. "Before the class begins, you must acknowledge that human hearing is easily fooled and that measurements are highly resolving, even more so than our...

Sure, but that could have been achieved at any SPL. I don't think the levels they arrived at were chosen at random. I've already quoted everything they wrote about it. They don't go into much detail.

Pink noise mimics the spectrum of music. Music is therefore interchangeable with pink noise if the calibration is done by listening such as in the headphone studies. If the calibration is done with an SPL meter, you might as well use pink noise since it's more stable. EDIT: Got rid of a...

The fact that those levels are used by the most prominent researchers in the most recent research. Until we've got actual standards for headphones, I believe those are the best reference levels to go by. I suppose I should've made it clearer that it only applies to calibrating speakers for...

[3]: [4]: That paper is from 2013 and compares different target curves. The paper I've cited is from 2018 and uses the de facto standard Harman target curve. The standard states 78 ± 0.25 dBA at -18 dBFS:

All the EQs are all based on the same data from this review: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/genelec-8010a-powered-studio-monitor-review.16866 As staticV3 pointed out, you can ignore the GEQ if you've got access to PEQ software. The 'AutomaicEQ' is made up of AI...

Do you have measurements of the channels being driven simultaneously?

Only if you disregard the channel balance measurements.

Use whatever tools you have at your disposal. It doesn't matter if you use Audyssey or a GEQ. What's most important is that you don't boost frequencies in the midrange and treble before you can get your hands on some anechoic data to guide you in making an informed decision.

You could make your own quasi-anechoic measurements: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-to-make-quasi-anechoic-speaker-measurements-spinoramas-with-rew-and-vituixcad.21860 Even if the speakers are flat on-axis, they might have a directivity error causing off-axis...

The midrange is also being equalized. You speakers might very well be too bright, but it's better to use anechoic data to correct them. An appropriate RT for music listening is also an appropriate RT for conversing. I think you should (re)consider if you have struck the right balance between...

You risk degrading the sound quality when you EQ the in-room response to a target curve above the transition frequency. Here is one example: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/eqing-to-harman-curve-doesnt-give-me-pleasing-results-why-not.45861/page-2#post-1635398 You...
