4m maybe? Listening position (I mean my sofa
). I don't looking for ideal, perfect sound correction cause this room is not a recording studio with treatment and speakers are not big studio monitors. But definitely like their sound, except those 4 things I mentioned above. And FR graph shows that my ears can't lie. AND I know that a little bit of appropriate EQ boosts or cuts can makes wonders too.
Something is very-very wrong then,at 4m only the absorption of the air would decline highs at least 3db,maybe more in a furnitured room,you're 5-10db higher than the mids.4m maybe? Listening position (I mean my sofa
I'll try it tomorrow and write you results. Thanks!
Some JBL's. Don't remember exactly model. But this is freq response of them. Maybe I don't know how to measure it properly and in pro way. It doesn't matter in my case. It's stuff for everyday listening music not critical listening during mix or mastering. But I wanna squeeze everything what is possible from those speakers to have just great sounding source for listening music. I know that it's impossible to get ideal thing in non-treated room and without pro measurements and calibration and all that stuff. i get it. But that's all I can do and provide in that particular case. And I know that I can eq it somewhat and it will be at least "ok" results". That's all. And as I mention I hear 4 main issues: not enough "oomph" from low end, excess of low midrange "warmth" (it's quite ok and even like it but probably too much for my taste anyway and definitely not for listening modern recordings with EDM elements which sometimes I like to listen too), somewhat hidden instruments like guitars and piano (I guess mids? higher mids?), and sibilants in vocals. Treble is really good from those speakers. Maybe sometimes too much but maybe because I hear all those "sss" and "ccc" very clear. Probably graphs show all that issues surprisingly well too. But the thing is... How to eq it to improve sound not smashed it and make worse. Thanks

As said above. If your speakers were anechoichally flat, you would observe roughly a roll off starting at about 1kHz to 20khz of ca -0.5 to -1dB/Octave (other than nearfield).
Probably graphs show all that issues surprisingly well too. But the thing is... How to eq it to improve sound not smashed it and make worse. Thanks
You gave a good sound description, but I don't see warmth in this frequency response, but muffled male voices and ear shattering treble in loud scenes. But it's dangerous to make conclusions without seeing the time domain. Do you have a REW measurement file?
No. It's just my measurement. Muffled male voices? Hmmm maybe you are right. Female voices sounds better on those speakers. I describe what I hear and I'm kind of "trained listener" cause I am musician and music lover since 20 years now and I know how some soundsystems and instruments and vocals sound in real life. Maybe it's not clear from the graph but definitely I hear those things. I think that I just use some shelf and boost from 60hz. Boost from 350 to maybe 1-2k with wide bell and cut with shelf from about 2k. I think that 1-3db here and there will be ok. I know you wanna more details, pro measurements and so on but I don't have them and don't know how to do it and the most important thing... I don't have gear to make it in a pro way. I thought that some "safe" tips exist and I can improve the sound just with small eq adjustments instead of provide pro measurements of everything.
I see in your measurement a simialr characteristic I had: the 1k was louder than the 500.
Ear training leads to improved hearing which leads to a change of preferences and taste of what we like. Acoustic treatment of the room also contributes to this recursive process.
