Not from me. Im in total agreement as well. Im not going to say someone can't manually EQ a system to sound better to their ears or get a flatter room response on paper, I am saying I cant do it with AydysseyXT32 or a manual EQ without smearing details and altering the original content to be something it never was in the beginning. I don't believe in modifying the music with boosts, cuts and time mods from reverb or echo with digital filters. Preserve the original content like it was intended, just correct your listening room..... panels and traps work!
I agree that panels and traps work, however DSP works as well. I've performed some room correction using REW and JRiver and came out with excellent results (I concentrate EQ in the bass regions - I find if you fix the bass - everything else just kinda straightens out). Here's a peak at my current measured bass response in my room - using an 80hz crossover - thinking about going to 60hz).
