That doesn't really matter as long as all the data is in the window.Sounds reasonable. Any upper and lower bound limitations?

Whatever it gets to the same point in the end. Stereophile uses 1/6th octave and I'd like to be able to compare to their traces.There's a semi-consensus on 50 dB vertical scale and var smoothing. With these settings, the divisions are 5 dB by default in REW.

Have you tried reversing sub phase? It’s important to fill the null from 60-100HzHarbeth SHL5+, smoothed to 1/6 octave (gold)
2X RELT9i + Harbeths (magenta)
No EQ used, measured at the listening position.
SPL is non-calibrated.
Below is the measurement (var smoothing) of my setup. It's a 5.1 system, but the measurement is 2.1 (front left/right + sub) at listening position. No EQ and room treatment. How does it look to you guys? Would EQ (e.g. Audyssey), room treatment, dual-sub etc. help much?

Thank you for the feedbacks. That's very helpful. Yes, I can turn up the sub by increasing the volume level at the sub itself (currently at 12 o'clock) or increase the subwoofer level at the AV receiver. I will go the latter route first and see how that works out.I would say "yes". You've got too much mid, low mid, upper bass, and upper mid. Can you turn up the subs? You'd actually have a really great curve if the response below 150Hz were lifted up substantially.

I wouldn't mess with what you already have.I forgot what smoothing I used. Either psychoacoustic, variable, or 1/3. Disabled room EQ filter above 300hz.
The slope seems to be flatter than the other ones. From 100hz to 10khz is only 2 dB. I'm wondering if my placement has something to do with it. Room dimension is 21 x 13 x 11. I sit 13 ft from rear wall.
Harbeth is one of the few vintage aesthetic speakers I'm really interested in.
yes sir, i have tried most everything to fix that null but no luck. pulling the speakers away from the wall 4 to 5 feet would work but not yet practical until i do some room reorg.Have you tried reversing sub phase? It’s important to fill the null from 60-100Hz
Yes, flat till 1 kHz and then dropping to -6 dB at 20 kHz, the curve was made by the known mastering engineer Bob Katz as it fitted his Genelec 8260 very well, see here more https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...man-curve-for-loudspeakers.18782/#post-614665It looks like you're purposefully flat to 1-2k?, and then roll off above that? I'm curious to try that. Would you mind sharing your target curve? How would you say it compares to the Harman target curves?
