First, welcome to the Forum!

If you’re talking about using a house curve with the Room EQ Wizard measurement platform, that’s something you have to create yourself. The Help Files show how to do it:


If you mean a house curve with a AVR’s calibration system, it can’t be done with an external file.

Regards,
Wayne

This may be where it started...... Treated rooms can end up with a Flat Frequency Response. This sounds unnaturally bright. Nobody listens to music in an Anechoic Chamber or on Audiometric Headphones. Such flatnesss would be 6dB or more tilted away from everybody's actual listening experience.

As Wayne indicated you create itself yourself. Like most things in audio, there are different theories and preferences so you might try a couple of curves and listen to what works best for you.

Here are two that I created for use in REW after doing some reading. For me, I slightly favored results using the EBU curve, YMMV. You can copy and paste(just) the numbers into a text file and load into REW:
EBU Curve
20 8
25 8
31.5 8
40 7
50 6
63 5
80 4
100 2
125 1
180 0
2000 0
4000 -1
8000 -2
16000 -3
20000 -3.5

Harman Curve
31.5 6
40 5.9
50 5.5
63 4.9
80 3.7
100 2.5
125 1.3
160 0.6
200 0.2
250 0
1000 -1
32000 -6

Here's the Harman Curve in case you'd want to import it in REW.

Mine btw was the target curve in Dirac and this is the std "auto" suggested target curve I get after measuring my front speakers:
46.9478 1.87592
864.528 -0.225476
15920 -2.32687
