Also avoid "Acoustic Fields".It's absolutely without dispute that correcting bass through EQ is the way to go - there's only so far treatment and placement will take you.Where it's less clear cut is when you move further up the frequency range. There are a number of other factors that come into play and experience is needed to come to the right conclusions.Dispersion pattern of the speaker plays a big role, the more even the off axis response the more predictable/reliable the direct to indirect energy relationship is, the more success you're likely to have through EQ (also bearing in mind we're much more sensitive to the horizontal plane than the vertical).Your ears are also pretty good at doing the filtering for you (at higher frequencies) - where in doubt, leave alone. It's a balance between what your ears tell you and what your graphs reveal - tempered by the anechoic response of your speakers.A bit of EQ below Schroeder would make a dramatic difference to the clarity and articulation of your bass - and looking at your response, some light EQ above that up to about 500Hz could do wonders (after you've done whatever else you can to improve things).Play around in the EQ panel in REW to see what you could achieve with your current response measurements - the predicted response tends to be remarkably close to the practical result.</blockquote>
