I’ve been playing around with some old speakers of mine and I have realized that (without EQ) the frequency response will never resemble anything flat in anyway.
I had the idea of just reducing the loudness of the entire frequency response curve to the level of the lowest frequency on the curve.
I ignored the room modes and found that the high frequencies were the lowest (Around -5dB, I sit off axis). And then i just constructed the filters in REW to equalize everything to that level (after ignoring the warning).
Why no one does this? I haven’t heard of it before so far. Sure i have to raise the volume a bit to compensate but it sounds really good.
