Rather, they claim to "correct the problems in all rooms" or something close to that. (Sorry, I don't have one of their ads handy.)
See this for more on what DSP can and cannot do: RealTraps - Audyssey Room EQ
Again, I agree that EQ can help somewhat if it's applied carefully and in moderation, and not used above maybe 80 Hz. Above the low-bass range EQ always does more harm than good. At least in domestic size rooms.
