Thanks heaps for your work and posting in here.
After many years of trying several DRC techniques, I tested yours and can attest the resulting sound was not just good but phenomenal.
Why? - bcoz other techniques always muddied something though an Inversion technique for Schroeder FR came to the best I had so far.
Your technique maintained the sound signature/timbre, musicality (without over the top clarity) and seem to provide extra resolution (i.e removing a veil). Low volume hearing allows all notes to show up properly now.
At normal listening volume, the stereo imaging is just amazing (I guess your proposed slope works the magic here) - enough oomph for the lows marinating the highs while the mids keep fluid control on the proceeding.
I have attached my measurement and filters. Just wanted some clarifications:

1. Would you have chosen my target used (I left some deeper carters out)
2. Is there any benefit if I try to align the Impulse Response for L&R speakers before starting the filtering process (Overley > Impulse > Remove IR Delays)
3. You mentioned this technique is close to Accourate Eq (I tend to agree as the sound is closest to Audyssey Eq sound I have once experienced). What is the missing 10% bit which I can toy around?
4. For my measurement, I initially started by simulating the Harman curve playing with my subs volume/phase/FR. Is this OK or should I just aim for a flat response before applying this technique.

Thanks again
Dave
