Charles, I have yet to ever hear of any digital processor truly compensating for gross room to speaker interaction and anomalies without imparting a heavy sonic penalty but I have certainly not heard them all. I know Lyngdorf, McIntosh and others have tried and it is definitely not the revolutionary solution it promises to be. All in all, it is perhaps a useful tool in certain situations where it would be the lesser of two evils.
Having said that, even a well treated room is far from perfect but does go a long way towards much better sound.
Hence my never ending interest in such active approaches as I am certain that given enough time, digital processing will eventually be capable of near magic. Such is the nature of technological progress.
