MHO...OK, my preferences....I've been running 'active room eq' for nearly two decades now. I prefer to 'run the space flat' since I've never had, nor wish for, a 'dedicated listening space', 'man cave', or the like. Doesn't really fit my/our 'lifestyle', of which music is a semi-daily sort of thing.
You can't substantially change the room. You can stuff various 'n sundry about, absorbing this or that. But you're still in the same space with the same dimensions, same fundamentals and harmonics.
If one gets religious about it, one can take the calibrated mike, run samples of multiple points within the space, & average it out. It may sound a tad odd for awhile, but after awhile one gets the point that you're getting to hear the music rather than the room and/or the equipment.
Works for me, anyway. We'll all do what scratches the itch, after all. *G* ;)
