Some very casual measurements. Since I have now stopped using Roon, I may have to use other EQ solutions (or just leave it at that) which is why I decided to take a quick look at where I stood.
First the Giya G3 and Focal Scala Utopia at approx 1m, roughly aligned with the tweeter - not sure what to make of the sub 30Hz value/behavior.
No EQ active. 1/6 smoothing
Now, the same, at the listening position. The room seems to interact a lot around 35Hz (fwiw is is a 60 sq meters shaped as an irregular L)
The Giyas are probably not aimed properly at the listening position, their side woofers seem to interact a bit much with something (they are the lightest, so they are the ones that get moved around)
1/6 smoothing
KEF LS 50 + sub at the listening position (room is 9m by 4m) but the triangle isn't equilateral by any means because of the room. Listening distance roughly 2.5 times the triangle base. 1/3 smoothing
The sub uses its own parametric EQ so working a bit with it improves things (1/3 smoothing here)
Anf finally, for giggles, the Klipsch Reference 7 + dual Subs as "optimized" by whatever room equalization the Marantz SR7008 has (Audigy 32 I think) at the listening position from 5Hz to 30 KHz. The subs sure do shake the room and the horn yells as expected. I don't really like the Klipsch, but high efficiency was a requirement at the time because of what I thought of AVR wattage ratings.
