Yeah, doing a near-field will usually reveal the speakers response rather well, particularily if you move it away from any boundary. Of course, outside would be best, but simply measuring close can reveal that the room was at fault.

Sometimes moving the speakers or listening position a few feet can help a lot. The REW RTA feature is very useful for this determination.

Remember to limit your upper range to 3K, because after that I would not trust what I was reading with a Radio Shack meter (note the peak at 5KHz)..............
