For what it's worth the JL audio ARO is applied to a single EQ band only.

MEN220 set to:
HIGHPASS:40hz, Linkwitz Riley 4th Order
LOWPASS:160hz, Linkwitz Riley 4th Order
Same output levels: 0.0dB
Ran RoomPerfect: 99% Room Knowledge with 7 measurements, and 3 focus positions.
After watching a few movies, with the MEN220 set to GLOBAL and NEUTRAL, I felt the bass impact was much more visceral. Even a car door's "foley effect" sound really "thud" close in a believable reproduction.
Right now, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.   |
I'll also add that I run lowpass as LOWPASS Mono.
The instructions cover all this if you need to read more.
I don't know which one is superior, but I use the RoomPerfect DSP for multi band DSP correction.
Note: These are two systems that you have to consider both when optimizing the sound output.
