Richard,

I know you're correct and my coarse measuing is not continuous across all possibly frequencies. But, it's quick and easy to do and just helps me to identify "problem areas" (that I can hear in some cases) rather than specific problems at all measurable points. I'm sure there are peaks/dips well beyond what I've measured but the coarse measuring must serve as some sort of average - sort of like fitting a trend line through a set of data points, no?

I'm not that much of a fanatic that it has to be perfect. Just looking for a decent balance of what sounds good to me. Besides, the room itself, any room, is an obstacle that cannot be overcome, correct?

I changed a few things last night and will check things again tonight.

I'm finding that the more I learn about this hobby the less fun it becomes. Meaning, it's hard to balance between enjoying the music and accepting the limitations in one's system and the technology as a whole (quite limited, within reason, if I think about it). That's why I don't spend a whole lot. But, the system sounds decent enough to me and I'm still having fun. Just less fun since now I know more about what I'm hearing and not hearing... Not to mention my ears aren't perfect either. Asylums like this one are a testament of our efforts and desires to achieve what might not be achievable with current technology. We're all looking for something and trying to learn and improve our little systems within our means. I might have an issue about a thing or two with my sub-$5K system but someone else is also having an issue or two with his/her six-figure system.

Sincerely,

Jim
