Hey guys, something I've kind of wondered about since getting these speakers....not based on any subjective deficiency I've noticed, but rather just based on spin data and the corresponding in room response measurements. I assume due in part to their 2.5 way design and lack of a dedicated midrange, one weakness I see in the spin and resulting in room response is in the area right around 1500 Hz:
Here is my in room response, measured at 6 locations across a 10 ft wide seating area. You can see that the dip around 1500 Hz is consistent:
So my question is, should a bit of eq be applied to the area between say 1200-3KHz to smooth out the dip, or is this likely to have a poor affect on sound quality? Any thoughts? This dip is present in both speakers and prevalent across all seating. As per the legend, the dark brown line is the average of all the measurements, simply moved up to see better.
This is one area in the spin where the dedicated three way designs such as F208 seem to perform a lot better.
