I agree 100%. I do everything possible to tame the room before giving thought to anything else. If we are creative room treatments do not have to cost an arm and a leg. Instead of the acoustic foam pannels costing hundreds of dollars each great effect can be had by hanging rubber backed blackout curtains at reflection points.

Adding circuitry to the signal path is always a last resort afaiac. Keep the signal path as minimalist as possible using the highest quality parts the price point will allow.
