Wayne,
Thanks so much for the observation and notes about my room much appreciated!!! Also that was a great read about the YDP I will look around for one based on what I just read. So to sum things up you feel that other than the things you pointed out my room is not too bad?

Hey Jay,
I must say that from what I see with your measurements, your original inquest about wanting to tighten up your bass is perplexing. I don’t really see anything in your measurements that would account for the problem. The speakers don’t have much extension to begin with, and your waterfalls don’t show any excessive ringing (i.e. long low freq decay times), except for at 40 Hz, and response is down nearly 15 dB at that point.
That said, judging by the full-range response graph, a good parametric EQ would certainly be useful. Eliminating the wide depression between 600-4 kHz and toning down the peak at ~180 Hz would make a dramatic improvement. I recommend the vintage Yamaha YDP2006. This post contains excerpts from a review I never got around to finishing.
