Hi all,
I have a simple setup of a Wiim Amp + Elac DBR62's which looks like this
The sofa at the bottom of the image is the MLP.
Unfortunately, at this listening position, there is a huge hole in the upper bass response and this is very noticeable, making a hollow sound especially in vocals. The issue is most apparant when watching TV / Movies since the dialogue can almost disappear entirely if it falls within this dipped area making for a frustrating experience often being unable to hear what people are saying.
Here is the response from the Left speaker
And the Right Speaker
Is this due to SBIR? or something else? I have moved the speakers all around within reason and I cannot fully remove this dip, this is the best response I could get.
I have seen many recommendations for avoiding SBIR to place the speakers as close to the wall as possible, I have tried this and the dip was just moved up slightly, and the overall response was much worse.
As you can see the room is carpetted, I have curtains and 2 sofas, however most hard walls are bare. Would treatment help? Any suggestions on a budget that arent eye sores?
As of right now I am filling the hole with additive EQ which I usually avoid, but it is helping.
Thanks in advance!
