The Classe' SSP-800 looks to be a very sophisticated and stellar processor. Classe's belief that room equalization has a limited ability to correct problems and introduces a host of other issues is somewhat understandable.
On the other hand not including room correction as an intermediate setup before a more professionally preformed equalization and or room treatment can be preformed is IMO shortchanging the user considering the $8000 price. A change in speaker location or a simple change in room decor would require a professional house call.
