Room Mode + Speaker Anechoic Measurement Correction

Hey, one stupid question yet maybe relevant for this all mess.

I use iPhone with Dayton IMM-6c mic with calibration file. When do measurements i hold It in front of me pointing on speakers (or place between them actually) on ear level. Another guides suggest to point mic up toward ceiling from listening position (so 0 vs 90 degree). Dayton calibration file doesn’t not have this orientation indicated like for Umik mics.

So do I do all this measurements in the right way ?

Either approach is OK, your measurements look fine to me!
 
Nice, looks this approach worked OK for you as well! I'd probably just disable the #10 PEQ (538Hz) in the left channel in the profile, I doubt such a high-Q correction is needed this high in frequency.

With this new correction the bass level seems lower and better matches the overall full-range target (and between channels), but the bass response is a bit more uneven than before. This might not really be an audible issue, however.

Do you have any preference between this and the previous correction?
It's hard to describe or tell the difference specifically as they almost sound the same. But what me and my wife noticed is the latter is more pleasant to listen to.
 
I did several attempts with sub lowered - 9 o’clock.
I used different crossover range 60/80/95 and with speakers latency 0 or calculated by wiim (16 ms)
I guess the best results are with following seetings: latency 0, cross 60hz

What do you think ? I will also experiment with the sound (I mean whether I like the sound or not coz this is why we do it after all, right) coz I am afraid there want be not enough bass with such low sub level.
 
That doesn't look bad, but ... at one point you the bass extending clearly below 30 Hz, which is no longer the case now. :(

Had you ever a tried to perform a RoomFit run with the subwoofer disabled in the WiiM Home app?

No, I hadn’t. I can try. It my be also the case I have simply shitty sub, but with my rather small speakers (Elac 5.2) I guess I should take benefit of any sub that can give bass exetension. I am simple guy, I like loudness style sound with more bass present in the mix.

What is funny a have another setup with wiim amp and Elac Unifi in living room in much bigger space and with huge space from side walls. I did default RF correction and it is kind set and forget setup. Sounds great, no sub but it is primary for my family and TV purposes.

And for my bedroom setup which is my music setup as you can see it is neverending tweaking process.
