I agree. I only use REW to show me the rooms issues, model my room to show possible placement locations and chart results. I do not play around with any of its EQ capabilities.

I believe most rooms have some issues with bass that a good crossover and sub will help alleviate through placement of the mains, the listening position and sub followed by educated setup of the crossover points, volumes and time/phase alignment.
