All right, so the reason why this thread:
1) I have Quad 11L2 as well as Boston Acoustic A26 speakers
2) Initially when installed, I remarked to myself how the Quad sounded much louder than the BA, but soon got over it since both the speakers are in different rooms with different playing volume
3) Over a period of time I also felt that BA sounded too soft (in the higher mid-range) compared to Quads (very evident in overdriven guitars, saxophone and violin)
4) Did a REW log sine sweep analysis (https://www.roomeqwizard.com/) and saw the evident differences between the response of both the speakers (Quad is flatter across the spectrum, whereas BA dips considerably between 500 Hz and 7000 Hz)
5) Also did white noise and pink noise analysis to SEE the marked difference between both the speakers.
6) The aim is to use the Pulse Audio EQ on my computer to boost the mid-range of the signal going in to the Boston speakers to bring it as close to flat
7) The funny thing is that all three methods produce a different results (that is: which frequency and how much boost/cut)
8) Now my question is: shouldn't the compensation results be same irrespective of which method you choose (we would aim for a flat curve in case of sine wave or white noise, whereas we would want a -3dB per octave reduction in case of pink noise) since the source, the speakers, the mic remain the same
