I have been playing with REW,speaker location and trying to understand different graphs (i'm still new at this). I have done so many sweeps that my wife and son are walking around imitating them. Luckily it is winter and the neighbors can't hear them
. Seriously though here are the results. As of right now the room has no treatment yet and the speakers are angled across a corner.
Am I going in right direction by doing this?

The next graph I put the mic 4in. in front of each speaker and covered mic. I the covered the speaker and mic with a blanket to avoid room reflections. Would these results be usable?

Also the next graph is time energy of the mic on the couch.

The help files are great for this graph but I want to make sure I understand the graph.
Are the spikes on the left from the room itself?
What I am trying to understand is what distortion is caused by the room and/or the speakers. This is so when I do room treatment I'll know if it was effective. Also by knowing the difference I hope to make simple modifications to the speakers to make improvements.
To walk a mile one must take one step at a time.
Let me know if it would have been better to split this up.
Thanks Bryan
