Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, but not new to music/sounds/stereos/etc. However, I must admit that I am at a loss as to what REW can do for me, and what my goal should be in my listening room.
A little background: What I want to do is configure my listening room for playing music mostly, and also for playing my Yamaha keyboard through, and limited use for movies or whatnot from my PC soundcard. So I just finished building 4 of Ed Frias' design of the "AR.com" bookshelf speakers. I bought a Panasonic SA-XR55 digital receiver to drive them. I don't know how to measure whether they are 'good' speakers or not - it sounds OK to me, but I have no reference point to compare to. These speakers also need some low-end help, which I started up a thread in your DIY Subwoofer forum to help with that project.
But I found and downloaded your REW program (excellent quality by the way - I'm a programmer too - and thank you for giving away all your hard work!). My goal is to play with speaker placement and the limited bass/treble controls on the receiver to come up with a good "live" sound. Can this program help me with that? I have run through the help file up to the point of "Making Measurements." So I made a measurement and have a graph. What do I do now??
Thank you!
Bryan
