From too warm, woolly, sleepy, boring, rolled/dark sounding, over to neutral, dynamic, lively, bordering on edgy and bright (without having touched anything in the mids and highs).
I’ve done it with the Grahams to a degree, but also just tried it with the Kef R3 - that was a big difference on those speakers in my room. No measurements yet to back up the EQ choice, but the difference is clearly audible as stated above.
No wonder. I was honestly a little confused because I didn't think any BBC monitors or variants need such massages. Now I can see a more complete story.
The Grahams are a bit bumped through that region as well, although possibly a room mode likely related to the port on each, because the ATCs (sealed) in the past and the Buchardt S400 now (passive radiator) don’t exhibit this. With the Grahams however it’s just perceived as a bit more warmth and some excess on certain notes, not sleepy or dark sounding.
I think I read somewhere where KEF's are designed with stone walls in mind and with American sheetrock construction, it is best to use the foam in the bass port. I think this also removes the midbass hump. I know my Q300's in my room I liked them with the foam.
