How much house curve?


Chrisbee was asking why I'm not overwhelmed with my IB. I ran through REW, dialled in a standard house curve and ended up with a decent scale. Beautiful sound, but nothing to kick me in the tail.

I was over at friends and we were putting in his IB, didnt' even have his BFD set up, but just cranked up the gain knobs and watched Star Wars 3. Man, that sounded good (lava fight scene).

My setup should have been much better than his, but I didn't get that punch I wanted.

So, I came home and did the same thing. Much more satisfying.

What *should* my house curve be? Is running through REW tests sufficient to set the levels (gain) on the amp? I just turned them right to the middle and left them alone and used other settings to get REW right (receiver volume, etc).

I know I don't have a concise question here... but... I'm at a loss to the recommened next step once the BFD programming is done.
