In Reply to: RE: Why, Davey? Shirley if you consider the room + speakers as the sound-delivery device ... posted by Davey on January 19, 2011 at 19:17:05:
You said: "Your theory is we should make the speaker output unflat to correct an unflat room? Two unflats (wrongs) make a flat (right)?"
Seems reasonable to moi! :-)) Just like you could position the bass panel X' ft off the front wall to take advantage of the inherent 1/4-wavelength positioning dip, to counter the bass driver resonance peak.
You said: "Here's a concept for you to think about. If we make the speakers flatter, does the room automatically become flatter as a result? Does that boggle the mind? :)"
No, of course not - as they are independent. If the speaker is absolutely flat and the room is not, you will hear the combined result of both influences ... which means IMO you will hear the room's peaks & troughs.
