Best advice integrating receiver's "room eq" with BFD Hey all, I would like to hear a few opinions on what action should be taken in regards to optimizing my room's overall frequency response curve. I have installed REW on my old laptop and I am waiting on my order for a RS meter and a BFD 1124.
My confusion is centered around whether I should
1) engage the Harman Kardon EZSet/EQ functionality in conjunction with the BFD.
2) run the EZSet/EQ without a subwoofer and then EQ the low freq with the BFD with sub engaged.
3) Set the HK receiver "as is" with manual settings; without EZSet engaged (Tone Out). And rely on room acoustical treatment for higher range balance and only use the BFD for the more problematic low frequency response.
I am leaning toward the third option, as I am usually dissatisfied with the EZSet/EQ settings. They are all over the map. Sometimes it's too bright... then sometimes it sounds like I shoved a pillow through my tweeter when following the onscreen directions to a "T".
Again, I have zero experience with properly configuring a room, so I welcome any pointers in the right direction.
Thanks. |
