Hello to everyone,
After months of heavy renovation/transformation of the house, I am now available to play and enjoy with my system. I have read a lot of wonderful informations on this site, and also oriented my material selection based on the reviews performed here and your comments.
I will use the opportunity to post something to warmly thanks @abdo123 @ririt @peng @VintageFlanker for their writing and explanation and particularly @OCA for his videos: as I am using Denon material in a Mac environment, millions thanks for your methodology to retrieve frequency response of the speaker for Audyssey App and load it into REW.
I have installed a 7.2.4 system, and I am enjoying myself trying to EQ all this the best way (again, thank you for all the material I found here to play).
The funny thing is in my mind, I am playing for months to EQ the 4 surrounds and the 4 Atmos in ceiling the best way I can, thinking my configuration of the 2 fronts is stable, even I have room mode polluting the low end, with the coverage of the 2 subs, honestly the response is quite good.
But as I was comparing the best speakers position for my surrounds and playing EQ for my ceiling speakers, I noted changes in the frequency responses from my towers (Focal Aria 948). I was surprised because I did not introduced new furnitures in my room, or even thought I did not move the tower speakers .... Curtains are always in the same position...
Checking last month photos of the house, i noticed few centimeters (less than 5... 2 inches for US reader..) variation of the position of the speakers from the wall or the TV. Maybe due to cleaning... I made 3 calibrations with different surrounds positions in June, July and August last summer. By chance I kept those measurements in the Audyssey App.
I attached the response in this post for the Front Left and the Front Right. I do not have such variation for the Center speaker, the response is the same for the 3 calibrations.
I will also attach a picture of the installation.
Just for you to understand: each of the curve is a time aligned/vector averaged of the 8 Audyssey captures, and each of the calibration have been done with a similar positioning on my couch (well...at least in my mind...). The response is not EQ (obviously when you will see it....
), don't bother on the SPL value, I use the "perfect speaker extractor" from OCA to get the curves. Smoothing is 1/48.
I am sharing this with you just to have your thinking about this, but I will continue to play and move the material. Honestly it is a lot of fun
