OK, so I finally did a REW measurement, see attached file, and entered the filter values in the EQ file for the devialet. If I did the measurements and interpretation correctly than the good thing is that it appears that the left and right channel need a very similar correction so at least my room setup appears to be good / symetrical. I did only a sweep from 10-500 Hz as i have read that room correction works the best below 500 hz. I have attached the filter settings for both channels.
My first impression is that with the filters the sound is less boomy / a bit tighter but definitely not by much; i think it sounds better with the filters on but it is hard to tell. Although I cannot attach the actual .mdat files from REW here but only screenshots, can anyone tell me if what I have done looks correct? I already noticed that for the left channel at 112 Hz the suggested gain is -12.1. However, it appears that sweetroom allows only gain values between + and - 12. So in the EQ file i just used -12.0, i doubt if it makes a difference. Would using a different volume level (lower?) make a difference and decrease the gain values of the filters? I used as suggested a volumes level of 75 db.
