A Grimani tuning technique... All pass filters for improved stereo imaging. Thoughts?

[Marin]

I understand that, and I am certain Andrew Jones did his best when he design these speaker and drivers with the money that he had(Elac debut F5 first edition).
I will open a new topic and post the measurements.
But my Dirac trial period is expiring so I would appreciate if you could give me some advice.
Or what would you choose, a slightly flatter response in the room or a slightly larger headroom for listening to music at higher volume and less distortion.
With Dirac I am at reference level or 0 on dial(it goes to+16,5db),or -10,15DB volume for listening moderate high levels?
Any advice is welcome...

There is nothing to say without proper measurements to look at, sorry. Slightly flatter FR vs. more headroom - that's a decision only you can make. If your loudspeakers don't go loud enough, you can't sacrifice volume. I can't make a universal rule.

I’d tune Dirac for balance and clarity first, then leave yourself a bit of safety margin rather than chasing max SPL. Your ears will thank you.

Thanks everyone for help.
I didn't know about Dirac but it can make what ever you wish for frequency response I play with curves like Harman, batman, Klipsch maybe Borresen .
But it's so agresive that put my AVR Yamaha in clipping,or lost headroom.
Is there a difference?
Maybe that's why Yamaha has such light rudimentary Ypao room correction software.I definitely not experience lose of volume when I I change the curves from flat, natural, front, GEQ and OFF!

Yeah I definitely experience better stereo image low end around 80-200 because of the 80-120hz bump that left one has because of the corner.(room not simetrical).
And I don't need woofer.... very good.
