    The measurement was taken at a distance of 0.5m, slightly below the tweeter, which seems to be the optimum height for these speakers. I've attached the room averaged response - as measured by Dirac Live across the full width of the sofa and at heights slightly above and below ear level. Note the suck-out at 2-3kHz which is due to the sofa itself, and also the presence of a room mode at 40Hz.

    I use Dirac to correct the 40Hz room mode but I now limit the correction window to 100Hz because the full bandwidth correction seemed to impart some graininess at HF. And yes, I still need a new sofa.


    Try spreading your measurements out a bit more, and move the curve to match a dip at around 4khz if you have one, that's how I got my 802 Diamonds at their best with Dirac

        Can someone give me an indication of the price of a dealer demo set of 800d2. What reasonable price should I be looking at. TIA

            I only measured up to 800hz instead of all of the way. Sorry.

                @wettou Do you actually have a pair of the 800Di's?
