Setup:
1. Focal Chorda 816 with custom EQ as posted in original review bij Amir + custom made 2 x 10" subwoofer.
2. Room = 5,5 x 3,3 meters but on top floor, so diagonal ceiling (how to phrase this in English) in combination with a dormer.
3. Sub crawl method to position sub in left front corner (to the left of the left speaker).
4. Applied some EQ below < 150 Hz (38, 65 and 119 hz peak on the sub).
5. Shown is an RTA measurement with moving microphone method.
6. Room is untreated except for thick curtains in front of windows of dormer (dormer is 2,1 meters in height) and a little rug.
7. I have DIRAC at my disposal but haven't measured it as yet.
Goal: hifi only (no films, youtube, whatever).
Questions:
1. If I were to apply roomtreatment, what should I do?
I can probably EQ the peak at 160 hz, I haven't (room) EQ'd the speakers, only the subwooer
Bass traps? Thick carpet?
2. Any more logical positioning of speakers?
I am in no need of building a mixing studio so I kind of want to keep it esthetically appealing. A cilindrical bass trap seems to fit in nicely, but will this solve anyting?
Already really satisfied with the sound, but always open for some improvenet.
