Hey there,
I have a sub-optimal living room and have bought some JBL L100 Classic MKII. I have already tested 3 speakers in this room and have the same problem with all of them. The upper mid to high frequencies sound harsh, tested with several AMPs. I think it's the room, I measured it and got some problems in the higher frequencies (already discussed here: ASR Forum).
Now I had a concrete wall right next to me and I put some wooden acoustic panels on the wall with damping behind them. It got a bit better, but not nearly enough.
So I've tried multiple speakers, multiple AMPs, multiple speaker positions (it's a living room and I can't position them where I want) and some room treatment, but I can't solve the problem. So now I have to do what I didn't want to do. Use an EQ.
I want to use pure direct because I don't like the result when I turn on the EQ in the higher frequencies, but I don't know what else to do.
So I've bought a Denon X3800H which is dirac live ready. What would be the best way to EQ now? Should I buy dirac live? Should I try the new Audyssey One approach (I've read it's only up to 250hz?)? Or do you have another, better idea?
Here are some pictures of my room:
