If I understand the House Curve thread correctly:
http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showt...Curve-What-it-is-why-you-need-it-how-to-do-it
for the relatively small rooms that we listen in, using a typical speaker will result in reduced low frequencies (LF) and increased high frequencies (HF), and therefore to counteract this a house curve sloping downwards from the bass region is suggested.
I'm not clear as to exactly why LF is reduced by the room and HF is increased. Furthermore this does not seem to be the case in my (limited) experience in my home circumstances. Perhaps these home circumstances are peculiar but I do prefer a flat response (with some increase in the 5-8kHz region to deal with age related hearing deficiencies).
Could the theory behind this be explained further please. Are we talking of a typical untreated room, a treated one, speakers with wide dispersion but with a measured flat response at the drivers?
