The outcome sound is lacking a lot of things, i do not know if this is something that i did wrong, or if there's something wrong with original calibration or with REW's.

Reporting back with the test for the above

  • sound clarity is very nice
  • front speakers are lacking depth/dynamics, they sound very flat. the sound changes if DynamicEQ is enabled, which i guess is normal.
  • woofer is a bit absent and i had to adjust the gain with +5db the outcome response was a bit odd. it seem to be too much in some cases while in others it needs more gain. I've left the Parametric EQ disabled in the app.
  • the above feedback is for music in stereo (2.0) and stereo + sub (2.1) with YT as source, Spotify Premium, and local flac files by having a baseline with the same songs on the same listening position at the same volume

I've re-run the 1.2 version on the same original measurements and here is the logfile:

For the new profile created with 1.2 i guess something might be wrong with the Optimal crossover frequency calculations as some speakers are clearly not to 40hz/60hz ( the Sony SS-B1000 or the Magnat's ).

I will upload the profile today, and report back
Thank you

Thanks for updating,
I had a change to briefly test the build and here is the outcome divided in two sections:

  1. Music in stereo or 2.1 - YT, Spotify Premium, local FLAC files
  • same outcome, it lacks depth and bass. the main speakers L and R which are KEF q950 are lacking bass and the sound does not sound as "spatial", perhaps i`m doing something wrong (which yet i do not know what ) or perhaps the calibration focuses on the Atmos/DTS configuration.
  1. Movies - Bravia Core pure stream, your files which you've made available, local files
  • the sound is dinamic
  • SW needs to be adjusted to +4db ( i think i have to tweak it a bit more using the parametric EQ for compensation on the 25hz dip , don't know yet if this is a good idea )
  • sound effects from the movies are amplified nicely, are crisp and delightful
  • i changed front's to Large from Small
    I plan to test more, later, today and i will report back any notable news
    For both tests Audyssey was set to Reference and both Dynamic EQ and Volume were disabled (off)

Thank you
