[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 35362, member: 30"] Re: Frequency Response/Contour EQ in full range systems. Let's look at that statement a little bit deeper. First of all, you are describing the average response of the music that is going INTO the system No argument there at all. But you will find that different styles have some very different relaionships and different producers of the same style will have different relationships-but let's forget that for a little bit HOWEVER-If you want to HEAR that music the same way-you HAVE to run it through something that does not CHANGE the relative level relationships. If you run it through a system what has a different response (as you suggest the same level differences) and then measure it AGAIN, you will see that the response that you are hearing no longer has the same "shape" as what went into it. The new "shape" is added to/subtracted from the origional. Hence my reason for a flat/neutral system. Altering the response (as you suggest) reminds me of a guy I knew in college who used Marshall amps and 4x12 cabinets for his stereo system. His reason was that is what his favoirte band (Led Zeppelin) used and he wanted it to sound as close to the origional as possible. Yet what he was really doing is altering-again-the sound of the recording. And I would argue that the drums and vocals weren't run through a Marshall guitar amp. Just something to think about.
