General SQ question
if SPL systems ultimae objective is the Highest dB possible, what is the numerical objective of an SQ system? The smoothest frequency response curve?

The numerical objective is a 40 score on an RTA meter. Here is where it gets fun. A 40 rta score sounds like crap. So your only REAL objective is to have a smooth response curve with proper crossover points for the application of the system.

DCA has it correct. This is why I used an MLS system instead of RTA to measure the recent C6 front stage I did. IMO, RTA is almost useless, even in the right hands. It's very easy to have a smooth response curve (but still not flat) but at the same time use all the wrong crossover points or slopes and have it sound awful.
