A collection of speaker target responses in .csv/.txt format

But why then, when I let Rew calculate EQ settings automatically, and have flat as target, do I get different results, depending on whether I allow a boost higher than 0dB?

There could be a variety of reasons.

Screenshots whould be uselful.
 
Yes, I can do that later.
I just saw a video, that said, that earlier versions of Rew, were a bit "bolder" with putting energy into dips, caused by room modes (when using the boost option).
 
In order to use REW's automatic EQ feature, I started collecting and converting every speaker target that I could find into the necessary .txt format.
In this thread I want to share my work so far, as well as ask you guys for target responses that I may have missed.

So far, my experience with working with these targets is as follows:
Toole is way too bass-light. Many times, the bassline in a song just vanishes.
HATS is noticeably blunt sounding as a result of that heavy treble roll off.
Harman sounds pretty nice.
I haven't tried the rtings target yet, so I can't say anything about it.

You can find the .txt/.csv files in a Zip that I've attached to the post.
If there are any major targets that I've missed or maybe an updated Harman target or something, then I'd be very grateful if you could point me to them.
Today I got my Vento 896.2 DC and immediately calibrated it to Harman Target curve.
Omg...The sound is 100x "right and real"

I don't like any of those curves, but I guess if I was to pick, Toole's is probably closest.

Too much energy in the 200hz range to really add any boost to it, especially in the genre's I listen too.
 
Yesterday I listened to Doug MacLeod.

It's incredible, how positive an FR correction can be, especially on instruments like a bass guitar or a double bass.

Where do you download Toole's curves from? Thanks
 
What target would you recommend me to use if my goal is to make the sound as natural as possible? As close to the real source as possible. I own MR4 and don't use a subwoofer.
