I really don't see why you keep harping on this. I have explained - and agreed! - why an EQ can help in rooms where boomy peaks are the main problem. My friend with the Audyssey I tested for that article has a room that's basically a cube, and Audyssey did improve the sound.

I was just up for some semi scientific geeking out, I will try and use the software on that web site.... have to register ... but yes I will try and figure it out.

The music play back of commercial tracks has improved a lot as has my decision making progress so for me it's worth it, I think as someone said before it only really benefits bad sounding rooms which are unsaveable by bass traps. Think I will build a few more and squeeze them in somewhere.
