Depends what you're trying to do, especially since we don't have any other details. Without any other information, the more highly damped alignment may work better near boundaries, but that's sheer conjecture.
Even so, with no other info, the red one. But i doubt thatin a room you would notice the difference.

Black line will have more bass, I also think that red line will produce more balance sound than black line. I would like to avoid boomy bass

I think the red line either stands for smaller box volume or lower tuned bass reflex tube (longer tube).
Black line is the optimal tuned box.
It's hard to say which one is the best.
I vote for red.

Hi
Yes one ML_TQWT for MAOP7 and now fit CHP-90 in that box. But that box according to hornresp is not suitable for CHP-90, but it sound amazing great.
CHP-90 is a great driver.
If you like the sound in ML_TQWT use it. 😉

Add room gain and it is likely to be too much. But i suspect a bit more damping in the black one will bring it in line with the red one.

No, no comparison to MAOP yet.
Have tried changing op amps in my dac.
The CHP-90 responds directly to this. They are sensitive to changes.
High resolution. Extremely sensitive. Perhaps more sensitive than Maop.

Which response is more room friendly, what is influence of small dip in cca 130Hz in red line. Which the way to go. Any opinion?
Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a single, universal 'more room friendly' response. It depends on the room construction & acoustics, the speaker's position in the room and that of the listener, the material played and (not least) individual preferences. Without knowing these, it's impossible to give a particularly useful answer, other than a variation on what I said before. In this case, the alignment represented by the grey line, being more highly damped, may limit excess gain if positioned near boundaries. The ~130Hz depression only apears to be about 1dB & its effects are likely to be completely swamped by variations in room acoustics & positioning; you'd likely get far more significant variation by moving 1ft in any direction.
Perhaps final listning test..
Now after 100 hours of recording, you may have reached the CHP-90's full potential.
The bass is tight and slightly deeper.
The details are really at a high level. The voices are top notch and the soundstage is brilliant.
The membrane's light weight really brings out the transients with ease.
For the price, they really provide value for money.
Gives them 9.5 points out of 10.
Good rating.

Compared to the CHP-90, the 10.2 Maop has more weight in the base region.
CHP-90 has more details to make the cone lighter. 10.2 Maop goes deeper in the base than CHP-90. The paper cone is better at bringing out details. The magnesium cone is more homogeneous and heavier.
The CHP-90 is a fantastic driver. I like it very much.
Considering the price, the CHP-90 wins.
It is the smallest driver I have listened to from Alpair. If you like more weight and deeper bass then the 10.2Maop is the winner.
Both of these drivers have nothing that stands out.
You can listen for several hours straight.
