    Is it possible to EQ Left and Right Discrepancies in asymmetric room

    This is the Left and Right measurements of LS50 Metas on an asymmetric fixed desk setup. This is the best I can get with room placement. The left and right speaker frequency response are opposite between 100 and 500. 45ish is a room null I cannot EQ out. Does it make sense to try to EQ these out...

    What are the chances of companies manipulating (a la Volkswagen emissions) their devices for measurements?

    This seems to come up in other forums that companies have learned the testing methodology here and learned how to cheat. For instance 1kHz tones could be perfect and the others garbage or they focus on one aspect of the test. Any of these things would come out in testing as a whole system rather...
