Audissey -10dB correction on Klipsch R26FA

I went to check my Marantz SR6007 Audissey EQ correction on a pair of Klipsch R-26FA and was surprised to find a > -10dB correction at 100Hz.
How is this even possible that speakers require this degree of correction? I tried many adjustments on flawed budget speakers and never felt the need to go over +/- 5dB.

Room resonance? Lots of speakers have that midbass hump because manufacturers think people prefer it.

It is not the speaker by itself but the room impact which can easily cause that much peaking/resonance.

Note however that once it takes that out, bass will likely sound too light. You would need to compensate by changes to "target curve." This is done using their app. See my review of Audyssey: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audyssey-room-eq-review.12746/

Good to know, I was afraid to move over the 3dB level in my EQs based on what I read in the anabolic measurement reviews.
