I wanted to post an update on my HT audio tuning project. Started from a place where I barely knew how to read a frequency response plot, there was lots of forum crawling and youtube-ing. I wanted to thank all of you guys in this community for helping me understand and tweak my system. It's been lots of fun!
Some final insights i gathered, lots of it may be "duh," but I had to learn it by going through the motions.
lots of peaks/nulls = fatiguing for 2 reasons:
A) you start struggling to try to pick out details in larger orchestral pieces (say a piccolo or horn that would otherwise get drowned out)
B) even volumes at -25dB feels loud, because some of those peaks can get to -15~-20dB and over time it's just tiring to listen to that loud. mind you, i'm still -20dB from "reference"
Then there's obviously the boomy and muddy issues.
Anyhow, thanks!
