Don't worry - I'm still going to stand by the old "DSP can't cure a room" position. Nothing in my experience suggests anything to the contrary. I'm just looking for a system that will actually make a good situation a whole lot better across the spectrum. Given my history with Genelec, I'd be inclined to think they would be the ones to do it.
I have owned the Genelec 8240's for a little over a year now and they are a fine speaker/Monitor. The DSP does a very nice job light years past what the JBL is capable of in my humble opinion. YMMV. A room/space that is treated will sound unbelievable in the difference.

The best thing to do is get your room as close as you can with traditional methods and let the genelecs bring you the rest of the way.
