How flat should my room response be?


I am in the midst of treating my listening room. I also purchased an spl meter and a test tones cd. In a perfect world, we would all strive for a perfectly flat room response. However, given budget constraints and the reality of my room configuration, I know this is not possible. Given this, how flat should I try to make the room response? Is +- 2db ok? Or is +- 6db ok? I am looking for a realistic goal that I can set that will yield the best possible results.

Thank you,

This is what one guy did that was where you're at (me too for that matter). This was a home theater room, but you'll get the idea.

You don't have to do the entire project at once, I'd start with bass traps and work your way up as time & money permit.
