New loudspeakers & room digital correction service

Really appreciate you having a look at my measurements, and all the explanations (even if I don't really understand them  ).
 
Firstly, and unfortunately the easiest one to answer is that I won't be able to put any physical Acoustic fixes into the room. Where my hi-fi set-up is in the living room that is open when first entering the house and as such there's Buckley's chance of me being able to change anything without a divorce being on the cards (the Aussies will know what I mean by Buckley's - it's another way of saying 'not a hope in hell').
 
The roof in the room is part recessed, and as such no chance of being able to change this (again will just have to live with it).
 
Also unfortunately I am a complete beginner with this Room Correction stuff, and have never used REW (or any software) before. I really don't have any idea where you got the charts from (look really good, but still trying to get my head round what they mean).
 
I took 8 measurements as Thierry says on his website to do between 5 & 8, and the diagram is pretty random measurements (a bit like what I did, with no real logic behind them except the Left & Right ones always being in the same place). Also when you say about combining all the files into 1, do you mean to zip them, I had a look at REW and can't see how to combine all 16 measurements into 1 file. L1 & R1 are my sweet spot measurements, with 2 to 8 being taken randomly (with one each for Left and Right Speakers each).
 
Another big no no to surely a lot of people is that I normally sit offset from the middle of the speakers and have actually did the measurements with me being in the offset (1/3 to the left side of centre, i.e. 0.5m from the left speaker axis, and 1.8m from the right speaker). Would it be better if I did the measurements sitting exactly in the middle (not where I normally sit unfortunately)
 
Due to not being able to change anything physically in the room, and being a bit of a Luddite with Room Correction software, hence why I was really happy to see the options being given by Thierry. Will forward on your comment about putting in a brick-wall filter to not produce sounds below 20Hz
 
Cheers

John,

I have no intention to insist on the acoustic ceiling. Just know that is does not have to be ugly (in my case this is just a stretched ceiling which material is micro-perforated), with an isolation hidden under the stretched ceiling (http://barrisol.com/uk/stretch-ceiling/s...20-acoperf).

When finished, you see a very normal ceiling (the D200 was a replacement for my D900 which was in Paris at that time):

On the number and location of measurements, I will let Thierry comment directly. My own measurements were made a long time ago, while Thierry was still prototyping his product. His expectations might have changed in between.

One of the great strengths of Thierry's correction is the correction of the reflected field. This allows to have a very good reproduction of the sound where ever you are seated (not necessary in front of the speakers).
