Agree with the direction you are going in . I would just take time out to check that your listening position really is right for both you and the measurements ! I spent a fair bit of time last year with REW and my 3-6 naxo scratching my head . I found that I could get a fair approximation of a house curve by trimming the pots on the naxo , but what sounded good to the ear and what looked good on a graph did not always align. By moving mic position along the couch and altering height I found major variations. Had to admit in the end that that both the room (5m x 5m x 2.5 m !!!) and where we wanted to sit when added were too much of an ask . Hope you fare better. A tip with the naxo -- I took photos on my phone of trim pot positions and saved the pic with a note -- this allowed me to go back and forth on trim postions and listen for my preferred sound .
It will get better and be worth it -- I'm now in a differnt room with an exaktbox and it sounds great . Using SOv2 on 40/60 flat v decay response preference with little tweaking of ideal v real speaker placement . FWIW -- not minded to use REW here to check as we are happy with where the Bricks are and if the sound is good , I'm not going to start measuring -- until I mod my Briks to split the bass feeds
As a side note --any tips on where to source 4mm sockets for the cabinets ? I'd like to make the extra pair match as close as possible . [I have a late pair of DMS with the colour coded sockets]
Enjoying your updates and finding the REW shots useful --please keep posting.
