Thanks for your input maty. I’m not one for eq except a little in the sub bass region. Once I fed enough information into AI everything worked out great. I learned things to try that I wouldn’t have thought of myself. The sound I have now is amazing, It always sounded good but you don’t know how much better you can get it unless you keep trying. The speakers are extremely important, but the room set up is also very important, without tweaking the room with treatments you’ll never hear the potential.
Issues affecting my sound, the 60” TV 15” of the wall was doing more harm than I thought. Putting absorption panels directly behind the tv and the QRD panels along side really improved the vocals definition, body, tonality and depth improved quite a bit. Imaging and soundstage improved from that change plus placement of the polyfusers at the first reflection point angled 20 degrees in towards the listening position . And 2D QRD panels directly to the side of the speakers helped also.
For better bass I moved the subs back (the are laying parallel instead of the more common method) more and slightly toed out towards the walls. Also added easy to do DIY bass traps directly behind the subs and QRD panels against the wall as recommended by AI. This significantly improved the bass quality and punch.
The bass traps are basically just 4 sheets of 3” thick safe and sound rockwool rapped in 1mil thick garbage bags.
