1)... Most people like the sound with a gradual HF roll off. The ROOM CORR function makes it easy to do this. It's an option. Use or don't use as you like.
2)... It's a lot easier to define your target curve relative to flat than as a modification to a curve that is up and down. Of course you can modify and save (overwrite)the GEQ curve which the auto eq has come up with up with. Again, your choice.
3)... If you can define your target curve in terms of parameters you can certainly put it in as a PEQ and activate it along with the GEQ from auto eq. GEQ and PEQ are just different ways of programming the DSP function, and should have no adverse effect on sonic quality. You might like to have different PEQs for different kinds of music, which you could select on the PEQ menu.
4)... These limit the amount (dB) of equalization: the change from one 1/3 octave band to the next, and the maximum boost or cut, relative to zero.
5)... Yes.
6)... I have compared with the Radio Shack meter. I believe the DEQ2496 is more accurate, as its specs, and the microphone specs, would suggest. You will get different results if you move the mic around the room. Some people suggest that you should average the results, but others think you should go with your listening position.
Have fun.
