Hey Wayne,

Audyssey doesn't try to flatten out every nook and cranny. The amount of data points used for correction drops off signficantly above the midrange. Also, not sure what mic people are using for those graphs, but I have also said before that using the RS meter for anything (other than maybe nearfield environment....maybe) is a waste of time. It isn't accurate for anything. The smaller the mic grazing area the better (ideally 1/4 inch or less). If these graphs were taken with less than ideal equipment, it brings serious doubt to the validity of the graphs. I would want to know how the measurments were taken and with what equipment before I lend them any credibility. As with anything in life, you need to prove it to yourself. Don't take other people's word for it. Especially since we are talking science here.

However, I do have one question, what good would equalizing headphones do since all problems associated with frequency response are due to the room itself? A speaker placed outside without the confines of walls should theoretically reproduce sound perfectly flat. This is one reason why large venue acoustics are so much different than small room acoustics. Just my 2 cents.
