Of course...REW is for room EQ, it is not purpose built for loudspeaker design. However, it has many features beyond EQ functions, and only a few more features to be fully there in my mind.
1. Full 2-channel measurement. Currently REW supports a semi-dual channel measurement where one channel is used as a timing reference. With that in mind, it should not be much of an addition to provide a complete 2-channel measurement. Record both inputs fully, and normalize the measurement input to the reference. This allows for a self-calibrated measurement, where all non-linearity of equipment upstream of the reference input is compensated for. This allows for compensation of nonlinear amplifiers, addition of filters and protection capacitors with very minimal impact on the measured frequency response. Addition of this feature would provide REW the same measurement functionality of loudspeaker design software like ARTA or SoundEasy.
The next 2 requests are available by simply exporting all REW measured data to VituixCAD, but I'm sure a lot of people would find the features built-in to REW a great benefit.
2. Polar response graphs. For each measurement, assign an angle, allowing for generation of a polar heat map type of plot.
3. "Spinorama". Using the same set of polar data, allow for generation of CTA-2034-A chart with in-room response and power response.
