Also for certain frequencies the drop even at 700ms is low. These frequencies tend to stay in the room and muddle up the sound of other frequencies.
taqies, I was under the impression that Audyssey corrected in the time domain. Not sure if these readings are post Audyssey.
The best would be a quick drop and if possible drop by more than significant amount within 300ms, this way they disappear fast enuf before the next scene comes up and not muddling up anything else. Low frequencies will stay in the room longer, there is nothing u can do abt that, all u can hope for is that it drops fast enuf not to mess up other frequencies.
REW is a very good tool to examine and understand your problems. Subs can be made better or worse by moving even by 1ft, they are critical to get right. If u cannot, a tool like Audyssey can do it well.
I see a lot of comments that says the results after Audyssey were not good, did not sound right. I'll tell u why, without room correction, you were probably "feeling, hearing" bass that was not meant to be heard, reverberations caused by slow decay, and some "peaks" that made u feel the oomph. Room corrections tries to fix this and its not all bad.
However, its ur equipment, if u r not interested in accuracy, then by all means do what is best for u!
Audyssey does correct the time domain, not quite sure if the normal version in the receiver is as effective as a standalone unit/High end receiver(Multeq XT vs multeq)taqies, I was under the impression that Audyssey corrected in the time domain. Not sure if these readings are post Audyssey.

I'm not using Audyssey meself, stuck with YPAO,manual calibration software & tools.

Now, I am keen to learn more abt the FR graph 
A lot of users tend to set their system wrongly. Either over powering bass (high channel level or gain at sub) or excessive surround level (cranked up the surr level to get 'more enveloping' sound).
As they are get used to wrong setting, it isn't easy to convince them about the 'true' sound that the studio has intended. Pardon me for my limited and confused jargons. Most ppl after getting a flat graph will comment lack of oomph esp in LFE. Peaks are the culprit.
While there are peaks, the valleys did no justice to our already 'not-so-good' room's acoustic. Missing details and 'heart-attack' bass (peaks). I am glad that more people are actually into room acoustic and appreciating the calibration
Bro, when you are here again, pls do let me know. I really would like you to visit my peasant pad
Most people interested in the oomph of the bass rather than the texture of the bass. As long as it's thumping loud, it's good enuff for most of the people.
