Hi all!
Lately I've been practicing measuring different speakers, to get an idea on how to do things "the right way". I've been fairly lucky, until yesterday.
I tried measuring a very slim column speaker with a Tang Band W4-657SB driver on top, at around 3 ft. off the ground (memo to myself - don't ever buy again a W4-657SB driver).
I measured the speaker in a room where I have some acoustical treatment. I took it at around 3 ft. distance from the source. I usually lift my speakers a bit higher (1 or 2 feet). Since this is a column speaker, I didn't do the same.
I got the 400 Hz dip.
I'm assuming this is a floor bounce issue. Am I right? Should I try lifting the column off the ground a few feet? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!
(BTW yes - that's the ragged response of a W4-657SB. It may be the worst performing driver I've ever tested - in my limited experience, of course).
