In Reply to: This may be a an obvious solution... posted by jimbill on November 28, 2021 at 22:15:33:
When you listen via headphones you are removing your listening room from the experience. However that does not mean that what you hear through the headphones is necessarily "correct" in any way. Headphones differ enormously in how they present music. Further the response of headphones is often deliberately manipulated these days to conform to the Harman curve target which takes account of the fact that there is a difference listening to a source placed at the entry to the ear canal against one at a distance like a loudspeaker. The target curve includes a change to the bass away from a nominally flat response. BTW the Harman curve produces a response that is preferred by test subjects - it is an average preference not a correction in an absolute sense..
So, if you set your speakers to natch the bass response of your headphones you will not necessarily produce an accurate result that is comparable to a measured response. It may be one that you like or not. As the whole procedure that is proposed is subjective you may as well just listen to your speakers and move them around or eq them until you get a bass characteristic that you prefer. If you want accurate then you need to measure.
