EQ settings on speakers

[Hakon]

Hi guys and girls.

I've got a pair of Tannoy Reveal 6D speakers that have an adjustable EQ section in the back, or a "DIP switch activated calibrated EQ facility" to be all fancy about it.

My modest dilemma is this: After I've calibrated them the software suggests one setting for the left one and a totally different one for the right one. The manual simply says 'pick a setting and go with what sounds good', whereas I am striving to get as flat an image I can from the speaker. NOW. Should I have different EQ settings on each speaker or put the right one as the left one (or vice versa)?

On one hand it seems weird to have different EQ's on each speaker but on the other it also seems weird to set them up the same knowing that one of them will be burping out inaccurate frequencies.

Any suggestions?

Try it both ways and mix something. See which mix comes out better. Change settings on the fly to reveal different problems with mixes as well. It is best to not get too paranoid about these things and to not trust your speakers too much.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah. Good point. I guess it's easy to be become über reliant or paranoid about stuff like that. My main concern (it's not keeping me up at night yet) is just getting as flat an image as I can in my room. I don't want it to sound 'better', I just want it to sound as accurate as possible.
