XTZ Room Analyzer or something else?


I'm in the market for a room analyzer system that is easy to use and will cover full range. My system is two channel (two speaker) only but eventually I'll have a home theater set up. Is the XTZ Room Analyzer my best bet or other free ware programs such as Room EQ Wizard? I want to optimize speaker placement and acoustic treatments. Ideally I would like something easy to use and easy to use :)

Thanks,

XTZ is easier to use than REW because the hardware and software are well-integrated. It is less flexible than REW but you have to determine if it will do what you want.

Remember that, although REW is freeware, you still must buy the associated equipment.

Thanks Kal. In your experience, is the XTZ enough to properly set up a pair of speakers (no sub) including placement and room treatments? I will not be using digital EQ.
I have used the XTZ Room Analyzer on multiple occasions for setting up my own 2-channel and 5.1 surround sound setups. It's fairly easy to use, but DOES take some time to learn all the nuances, and how to interpret the graphs. The latest version of the software is much improved over the original release. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a U.S. distributor yet, and ordering from Sweden may result in additional duties/shippig broker fees.
