Hi everyone.
I know the Estimated In-Room Response should be sloping downwards. But how much? Moreover, depending on how the trendline is drawn, slightly different conclusions could be reached about where the EIR is over the trendline (potential brightness) or under it (potential recess).
I have been experimenting with trendlines & slopes on 6 speakers reviewed in ASR. For each speaker, I played around with different trendlines (in Excel), and picked the best (the one with the highest R-Squared metric). The selected trendline has a slope. Is there a way to determine which is better?
I am posting graphs for the 3 best speakers (out of the 6), each having a trendline with an R-Squared > 0.90 (i.e. extremely good, with little deviation around the trend).
The two Revels, though both highly rated, have quite different slopes, with the M16 being significantly steeper.
Does this make a difference in eventual listener preference or not?
Thx in advance for whatever discussion might arise from this.
Focal Aria 906, trendline slope -0.0473
Revel M16, trendline slope -0.0605
Revel M105, trendline slope -0.0399
