recommendation of a sound level meter


I currently have a pair of Quad 988 loudspeakers, Thor Audio TP 60 monoblocks, Thor TP 2000 preamplifier and a
Cary 306/200 CD player. I am attempting to cure the
problem areas in my listening room. At this point I am not really sure what they are. It was recommended that I purchase a sound level meter to help me. Can anyone recommend a sound level meter besides Radio Shack that is
very accurate and reasonably cost effective. Thank you for any light that you can shed.

Here are the corrections for the RS meter. Unfortunately, I only kept the #'s I was concerned with at the time. Use C weighting and the slow response:

20hz +7.5
25 +5
31.5 +3
40 +2.5
50 +1.5
63 +1.5
80 +1.5
100 +2
125 +0.5
160 -0.5
200 -0.5
250 +0.5
315 -0.5
400 0.0
500 -0.5
630 0.0
