Pay careful attention to what you're aiming for with REW. From what I've read (a lot, but I still call myself a newb compared to the duo of Bruce and Wayne).

The house curve is typically for 'HT' sound- meaning, we expect movies to be loud(er) for low frequencies.

For critical listening of music, I think most people use a different filter set and do not dial in a house curve.

If you're using the dsp1124, you'd just change the filter set to a different one for music compared to HT.

Edit: BTW, the level you're testing at is pretty high- what's your sound meter set to?
