I thought it might be of interest to post some measurements from my sound journey after purchasing the Infinity R162s (super deal at $159 for the pair by the way). I had been using Monitor Audio RS 6 speakers driven by an old Denon AVR-2809. The sound was great, but because of the room layout, the RS6s were both playing directly at my right ear. Not the best setup of course, but my best option with the room for floorstanders. I bought the R162s after reading Amir's excellent review. They sit on top of bookshelves and I sit directly between and below them, so the layout is much better for imaging.
Here is how my first REW measurement (using the Moving Mike Method) looked at the seating position.
Not too bad for no correction.
I loaded Foobar and MathAudio Room EQ and then ran the measurement process in MathAudio. Here is a Screenshot of the MathAudio application.
The measurement process is limited to static locations, but you can average as many measurement as you want. In my case I used 12 readings for each speaker.
So here is the end result after MathAudio correction measured in REW.
Here is the overlay in REW. Green is before and Red is after correction.
The bass peaks were reduced and the brightness that Amir noted in his review was also tamed.
The process was fairly easy and the sound is much better now. Not bad for free applications and a first pass at room correction!
