I dug up a couple of old measurements from the health and safety move of the Phantoms in the living room, ie. wall mounting. Until now it's been all subjective babble, now the hard facts will be revealed. I'll will off course comment very subjectly on the measurments. After all, my worn and torn ears combined with liking is the golden standard, not measurements. Or was it the other way around? Well who cares, here's a screenshot after a sine sweep in REW, enjoy (or not).
To quote the CW's old slogan: Because no one screams out for more treble! Actually it isn't that bad. The red graph is left, green right and blue avaraged. The smoothing is averaged, so something between 6th and 12th? Back to the babble; the almost 10 dB boost from 120ish hz and down made the speakers quite enjoyable but with bass heavy music it could be a bit overwhelming. I do like a little bass boost though, a flat curve sounds lifeless in my ears. The somewhat uneven response in the lower mids and mids would have been nice to correct. A boost of a couple of dB in the highs would also be nice. An Audiolense cure should have been perscribed, but lazyness won me over. Never underestimate lazyness combined with accustomedness, it's a killer combo in my ears.
Picture break!
Say hello to Judith, our Whippet/stick-bug. She is, objectively off course, quite cute, but then most puppies are. Why suddenly a puppy picture, you may ask? To be honest, I do not have any other measurements to show you guys, so a puppy should be a perfect distraction. Please stay distracted until I find my UMIK in the shed and make some measurements in the den. My ears tells me it's a lot worse there, but they have proved more than once not to be very trustworthy.
