REW without avr/pre-pro?


Question? Can you run rew without a pre-pro or avr? Would like to see if I can improve on my 2 channel system, but don't use an avr. System is as such;
Focal Kanta 2's
Mcintosh C52Pair of Mcintosh mc611's.
Pair of JL Audio e112's being fed L/R signal via rca from C52 output #2. 
I own a laptop, but before I invest in a mic/stand, wondering if anyone else has experience with this and can offer insight. Thanks.

REW will work on your setup.  An AVR isn't needed.  you just need an analog audio input on the Preamp to connect your laptop/ Soundcard to and you'll be good to go.
You'll be restricted in your tuning tools, however, to tone controls, speaker placement in room, seating position and subwoofer placement/ subwoofer setting controls, only.  Which, in reality, is probably all you'll need.  I've had great results with REW in 2-channel systems by using just speaker placement and proper subwoofer integration.
