[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1172257, member: 517"] From 500-600Hz or so up I would agree, things look okay but below that there are not insignificant issues. There are some wild swings in response, variation of up to 25dB in the mid bass, and when it comes to vocals the Clarity graph drops below zero at 300Hz - if you're after a great stereo presentation, these are things that need addressing. Don't be in a rush though, there's a lot to take in, it's a slow process. It's a tough thing to deal with, seeing your pride and joy laid bare at the hands of REW can be a bitter pill to swallow. Effectively managing things takes a long time though, learning about acoustics, REW, gaining and understanding of your room... While your first stab at an RT60 Decay chart wasn't successful, the one thing it does suggest is that the noise floor of your room is quite high (the line at the top flattens out long before it should). Making your room quieter or finding a quieter room is another avenue to explore. 80% of the motivation for redoing my kitchen was to install a silent built-in refrigerator :). [/QUOTE]
