Ok, I found my RTA cable and did some very basic measurements of what Macondo does in the room. The results were in the direction that I anticipated but worth in amplitude.
My right bass channel that that sited right next to the equipment bay has no bass. The left LF channel is sitting in a very good “hot” spot but the right is in bass hole. I would need 6-8dB of extra gain across the entire bass bandpass to have to work properly but Milq does not have these 6-8dBs. The bass channel have a strong room mode around 63Hz that severally mask any lower response. I need to find a way to deal with it. Also, I do not think my bass channel do a lot of good in this room in sub 30Hz region. I would need, I would need another 6-8dB to handle it….
The Upperbass channels do not work as well as they did in my old room. In there they were pushing down to 95Hz and loaded a whole room. In the new room they work down to 115Hz-120Hz and very fast loosing amplitude.
The Fundamental channels do not work properly at all. Since the Upperbass is loosing steam much fasted then in old room the Fundamental lower knee does not talks with Upperbass upper knee. Kind of ugly sound that explains a lot of what I hearing and do not like. Currently my Fundamental channels are in narrow bandpass between 800Hz and 1000Hz, first order below and consider 3rd order above. I would say that it needs to be from 400Hz and 800Hz to be more appropriate in current setting.
The MF channels suddenly gave more bass output in this 440Hz horn and 3.300Hz filter. Perhaps zako was right and I need to realign the diaphragms? I do not believe in the “tired diaphragm” but I know that compression drivers have very bad diaphragms pressing play and they need to be constantly realigning them. The last time I did it is over 5-6 years back, too bad…
Anyhow, there is a lot of work that need to be doe and a lot of thinking to make. I was so displeased with the measurement that I… did not do anything with playback since then.
