I have the UMIK and used REW to correct from 20-500hz. Used a harmon curve as the house curve that someone else designed. Maybe I am not doing it right?

I guess that you've done this in the new room too?
Another thought, was the previous front wall more substantial than the new. That could do it.
But actually, you were just getting bass reinforcement from sitting close to the back wall.

You can't, but you could drop the corresponding peak on the left channel and things might sound better.
Sorry I think they were too big. Try this.

Yes, 10dB down from 20Hz to 20kHz.
Unusual measurements, usually there are some room mode derived peaks that coincide .

Hi @murl I reviewed the D&D 8c's in a similar room setup like yours. The top pair of traces is spending a bit of time with the onboard Active Room Matching and PEQ's by taking sweeps and making small adjustments. I should have probably used REW's RTA to make the process easier...
You should be able to achieve similar. Note I am using REW's default window of 500ms and 1/12 octave smoothing.
The bottom pair of traces is using some basic room eq with default settings. I would probably relax the top end more, but gives you an idea of what is possible. While the bottom set of traces sound smoother, one can do a pretty good job with D&D's onboard ARM and PEQ's.
Good luck!

Sorry should have been more clear. Is there a file floating around that can be loaded into REW for this as the target curve?
Do you think this is fixable with DSP? If you move back against the wall behind the couch there is a ton of bass. The spouse isn't crazy about adding additional subwoofers but I am not very happy with the current performance. I am probably going to use your services in the future Mitch as soon as my wife finishes moving things around in the living room and I get the new cables to fix the 8cs.
