[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 80775, member: 30"] re: Listening Get Together Any loudspeaker can be "flattened" with processing. At least on one axis. To me it is raw response (with calibrated SPL) that is of most use/most telling. Seeing just the "processed" response means next to nothing-UNLESS you can also see the response of the processing or the raw response. I like how EAW does it on some of their cabinets. They provide the raw response-the processed response and the processor response it took to get there. Now you have something to see what is going on. But you HAVE to have 2 of those-or else you don't have a clue what the cabinet is actually doing. If there is a big hole in the response-there are 2 ways to go about fixing it (not counting using different drivers or cabinet design). Either you can put a nice big boost (you can run out of amp headroom real quick on that one and I don't like the sound of big "boosts") or you can pull down everything else to the level of the "hole". But then the sensitivity of the "system" suffers-or possible clipping somewhere "up stream" occurs from having to drive it so hard. All I am saying is that you just can't "throw a DSP on it" and fix all the issues-even though many people think it is that "simple". [/QUOTE]
