Short version - it doesn't work as claimed. The same number of dollars invested into either DIY or commercial bass traps will give a lot better return on investment.

Well I've now completed 4 instalations (and no I don't do it for a job, more as an eye opener for friends), in what most would call totally awful small boxy rooms using Arc room correction software/hardware.
2 of the rooms were treated with about 7 to 10 home made diy bass traps... and not the foam crap either.
The other 2 were plain old 7ft by 15ft boom box's.
I just have to call you on this one i.e your qote above as you are just wrong on that one. All of these guys produce and release records.... mainly dance music for a living and the difference Arc has made to the decision making process has been huge so it DOES work. It might sound a little phasey in some rooms at high frequencies but that does not work it's way into the audio. Without Arc in those rooms would be like trying to paint the Mona Lisa with 3d glasses on.
Here is the measurements from one of the rooms with 8 bass traps and some hi frequency diffusors. I have respect for some of your views especially the recent audio myth one... but wherever I find a topic with Arc in it I find you there putting the downers on it and saying that it just does not work.
It does! It works with your products so no need to be so threatend by it
