That makes total sense. What doesn't make sense is frequency response curves I've seen for untreated small areas that don't display much comb filtering at all.

Like this for example.... Room EQ questions

Our room are about the same size but mine displays much greater comb variations in mid-high.

Here is Frank's test case.... GIK Acoustics

Out rooms are also similar in size but his baseline is very smooth in comparison. Not much comb there.

So.... Should any smoothing or filtering be applied or do I just have very unusual problems?
