One of the reasons these electronic EQ systems exist is because many people can't (for various reasons) locate acoustic treatments in a room. I for one am glad they exist as it gives us one more tool to make acoustics sound better. Every available tool, if it's well implemented, will usually make sounds sound better. The other thing I like about electronic EQ over physical room treatment is it's ease of shut off. I can't as easily take the room treatments out of the room.
