Flat frequency response

Measurements are king today, literally measuring flat frequency response in your room. An approach to eliminate the influence of the room with the assumption of your speakers measured flat frequency response. 

AI reveals that philharmonic halls are generally designed to have a perfectly flat frequency response, but for a balanced and natural acoustics. Philharmonic halls inclined to have a lift in low-mids for extra warmth citing philharmonic halls like Vienna Musikverein, Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Boston Symphony Hall, they all share this character. Particularly with the latter where all famous RCA Living Stereo Recording are recorded in Boston Symphony Hall. AI further points out that flat frequency response leads to dry, less immersive, lacking warmth and bloom and poor orchestral blending. 

I had heard in-room flat frequency response and non-flat frequency response in a same system and same room. Absolutely neutrality or listening pleasure, kamu sendiri pilihlah.
