Wow, I'm impressed! I had a definite level balance issue that it corrected for immediately, but it also really tightened up the imaging, and brought in some deep low end that I was missing (my setup was measuring about +/- 7dB prior to sonarworks). I went through the calibration process on my Neumann KH120A's, and applied the 'system-wide' plugin.

Next, I downloaded the trial of Sonarworks Reference 4 studio. It gives some insight into what the effect of moving your listening position vs speaker position can be.
I found this somewhat helpful, as moving my desk around was a real pain in the ass. In this room sim you can move the speaker around, and your listening position, and examine the predicted frequency response. I also found that there is a Room Sim feature in REW, where you can enter in the dimensions of your room, the level of absorption, etc. But in my case, the listening position dominated the response.maybe part of that is due to the fact that because my near field speakers are mounted on my desk so I can't really change SBIR independently from listening position. I also moved my desk around and clearly saw the change that SBIR had on the frequency response. This can help you figure out what modes the peaks and dips you are seeing in the SPL curve are caused by (Well, at least the axial ones). I found it interesting to find a general position that sounds pretty good, and then move the mic and take some new measurements.

The low end just sounds more full and supported there. Probably the best position I measured was actually in the centre of the room.which sort of defies conventional logic but interestingly enough it agreed with my listening observations. For my room (fairly well treated), one of the best positions for my monitors/desk was right up against the front wall. I played around with REW this afternoon, and found some interesting things. I got some great help from TGP, they really pointed me in the right direction. Also, I'm still learning everyday so I may lack deeper insight into less obvious issues. Honestly, they're pretty easy to look at, but figuring out what's causing issues is hard without being in the room every step of the way through the process. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm just not wanting to go through the graph reading and testing that I did for my room, with someone else as I was reading graphs for hours on end for nearly 2 months. I got a lot of help here, but not with the REW software.
I'd suggest going to gearslutz, tgp, and the REW forum for maximum information and help. One closer to the wall than the other, well I just don't see that working to your benefit. Centering between the sidewalls will help both the R and L speakers to have nearly the same response in the room. Getting the listing position centered between the side walls and further away from the center on your first axis (front to back) would be my priority. I'd suggest figuring out what walls of the room are best for your front and back first, which is preferably the longest stretch.though your room is nearly square so it may not matter as much.

In my opinion, before you get to diving into understanding how to read all the REW graphs, you should really focus on getting your listening spot and speakers setup in a more ideal location. That's where I got 75% of my REW help along with the REW's official forum.

Your really at the very beginning stages of the process and I think your going to get far more help over at where most of the professional acousticians hang out and will help you almost every step of the way.because they eat, sleep, breathe this stuff.

Some basics need to get done before approaching the REV software imo.
I've got to be really honest here.I'm not wanting to get to deep into your usage of REW, I can chime in, but I'd suggest you slow down a bit and get the cart back behind the horse (for lack of better words). SBIR is another possibility but man, figuring this stuff out can be super time consuming and difficult. There's a room calculator in REW that'll give you an idea of room modes based on your dimensions. I see a pretty decent Null around 130 that's enough to be very audible to the human ear. With that said, yes you have some work that's needed. Click to expand.Though I think the software shouldn't be your first focus, I'd suggest trying to first figure out what your room's noise floor is measured at before diving to deep in the waterfall and spectrograph (RTA graph is helpful for determining noise floor), because ringing/long decay in the lower frequencies is way less of an issue if it falls below or into the noise floor from my understanding.
