#3You need a calibrated measurement microphone to do this for real. Otherwise the microphone’s frequency response will skew the results.

Shammy. You cannot truly correct for a room without actually changing the room itself.

#5> I eyeballed the two (red) plots and I think they look more or less identical.
I overlaid those two images [0], and they seem significantly (though not hugely) different to me.
Wouldn't speculate as to why that is though, without checking the consistency of passes with the same setup.

#6'I tested different EQ presets on "Levitating" by Dua Lipa (Youtube Music, Music video on Youtube). The song is fantastic, and I've been listening to it on repeat these last few days'

personally I use Korn's "Freak on a Leash", lets me quickly know how low the driver can go

You can check whether responses differ without a calibrated microphone.
But regardless here the methodology is very weak, just playing a sine sweep with a spectrum recorder open and eyeballing the frequency magnitudes.

#9To do this at home somewhat accurately, see this article 'How to make quasi-anechoic speaker measurements/spinoramas with REW and VituixCAD' https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-t...

Indeed, the article is very unsophisticated. Here are some relatively inexpensive measurement mics: https://roga-instruments.com/usb-measuring-microphone/
Going the USB route sidesteps the separate DACs, which either add to the problem or run into the thousands.
