Ready!...almost...

Still some final cosmetical touches left. Ran out of cloth, but I just had to get that last unwrapped panel up (wrapped only with synthetic weave) temporarily, to be able to measure. Don't want to post a pic yet because of that, but - as mentioned - there's 2.4x3.6 metres of 12cm thick mineral wool hanging over my head right now

The new panels in the roof obviously has evened out everything even more.

It's nice to have that confirmed on the curve, but more important this last step really changed the sound around the sweetspot. A lot. I notice it when talking etc. And when listening to music it's clear that the bass/lo mid are more controlled now.

Talking about control I got curious about those waterfall plots and since I just payed for Fuzz Measure I'm now able to use that plugin. I'm not sure what's best to do, but I did three measurements (sweetspot, middle of room and rear). I guess that I can read/analyze them as good as anyone else, but I have no clue what would be good/bad, so I'd be very happy for any input from someone experienced.

When measuring from a distance I pointed the speaker straight out in the room. Just seemed logical with only one speaker playing the sweep, but please tell me if I was doing wrong.

And my 1030's still switched Treble switched to -4dB, which I did by ear at first, and that seems logical when watching the curves (I did a measure with treble at 0db at one time just to confirm that the treble got hyped. Sure did!)
