Tuning Adam A7X's?

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about tuning the A7x's ... I know its gonna be different for each room depending on size and shapes. I'm just having trouble getting a good clear sound out of my monitors. I've noticed they aren't even sounding as good as my Adam a7's sounded with no treatment.

So Idk if anyone is gonna be able to kinda push me n the right direction on this or not, if not it's fine just thought I'd ask though.

Thanks In Advance

It would reallly depend one your room.
I know there are some SW that will let you monitor the frequency response of your room, but haven't tried it yet.
I could use advices too on this subject so I will be following with fingers crossed.

Yea, you don't tune the Adams, you would tune the room the Adams are in. You'll need to get some kind of program that takes frequency measurements of your room and you'll also need a calibrated mic. This gets expensive and sometimes its worth calling in a professional room tuner (Acoustics expert) to do it for you.

After you take your first measurements. Then you'll need to add acoustic panels, bass traps and diffusers to tune the room to its optimal point.
You also may need to move your monitors to a different place in conjunction with adding the things i listed above.

Your studio monitors need to be at least 3 feet away from the back wall and the placement between the monitors and you should make a 3'X3'X3' triangle.

It took me about a week to tune my room. Its no small task

I'm assuming that's just an example right? Looking at your studio pics, your monitors look like they're at least 5 feet apart.
