It depends on the specific room. The room I used to test Audyssey for my report linked above was almost a cube at 15 by 16 by 8 feet. So it had pronounced peaks and resonances related to those dimensions. The Audyssey applied cuts which did help to increase low-mid clarity. It didn't remove the resonances as claimed, so a $100 EQ would have worked just as well. But the larger problem in many small mix rooms is two or more deep nulls, and EQ cannot help that.
