I agree with much of what you write. However there are the realities of possible speaker placement and "treatments" for dual use rooms like living rooms. Finally there are the "spouse rules' that must be considered. That is where Trinnov will truly address the problems
I merely wanted to make plain the fact that you don't NEED to have this room correction if you make a good room in the first place. I would imagine this would apply mostly to people who are most interested in the highest quality music listening verses the generic home theater, and who have the liberty of optimizing the room for sonics.
The benefit of acoustic treatments gets a very short shift in most quarters, mostly because they are not "sexy" and "cutting edge". But it is extremely important to point out the fact that getting the acoustics _basics_ right in the beginning is the best course if one is interested in the absolute best quality reproduction, especially for music.
Electronic "compensation" reminds me of the "cure" for feeling bad - staying drunk all the time.
