Room EQ (Tweaks)

Hallo Bert and others,

I have the same problem in my listening room: a very irregular bass respons. Your first solution does not help me, I already have BD-15's. I do not know if there are better units, but if so I most likely do not want to pay the price. I tried the second option: optimize the bass response by tuning the DCX2496, it helps but not very much. You leave out a third, but in principle, the best option: change the room acoustics. I have been reading on Internet about this lately but filling the room with absorption panels, bass traps and whatever more seems even much more complicated than equalizing the respons. Furthermore the rest of the family probably will not like these changes.

Do you or other readers of this forum have experience with adaption of room acoustics? For example: can I expect benefits from simple measures such as hanging up a few curtains behind the speakers?

Kind regards,
Eddie
