Experienced only: What have you done with room correction?

I like to sometimes ask questions just to learn how others have experienced a technology and this is one of those times.

I’m genuinely curious about who has applied automatic room correction, and what your experience was? Did it turn your Monitor Audios into Martin Logans? Your Martin Logans into Wilsons? 😀

Good and bad, but experienced only please!

For the record, I use it for HT now and I’m meh. I had much better luck with manually (with tools) adjusting my miniDSP.  Also, I'm absolutely not looking to buy anything, I just want to read about your experiences because it is fun.

I've used 3 different REQ solutions in my A/V systems:  Dirac Live, Audyssey MultEQ XT32, and ARC Genesis. I consider them all effective, to varying degrees, with respect to reducing room colorations and providing a more convincing audio experience, at least to my ear.

However, REQ is intended to remediate only room anomalies. It is not a panacea for speaker or source aberrations. And I've always found further improvements to the sound are possible via manual adjustment downstream. YMMV
