Room Treatments for better measurements?

[ctrlx]

op, place the speakers where you want them, run the bass (or bass-mid) unfiltered, and take some ungated f/r's

Gated measurements and combined nearfield and farfield measurements are the way to go. Any sound absorption on reflection points in a normal room will most likely only make it harder to choose the correct time window for the gated measurements

Measurements in a room IMO are best with hard surfaces as your first reflection points. Hard reflections make it obvious where to set gates.

No substitution for measuring outdoors.

I would love to measure outdoors, but we have winter up here in the Great White North... 🙂

Not now you don't 😉
A little moisture here and there, nothing you couldn't work around until winter does set in.
