It depends on how bad your room acoustics are. From the sound of things you have little or no experience using an equalizer and you kind of have to know what you're doing in order to get good results.
But I have used both a relatively inexpensive dbx 31-band graphic equalizer and a Lyngdorf digital preamp with digital room correction and have gotten very good results. The system sounds much better with the EQ than without. That said, as I mentioned above, there is a learning curve--also, every aspect of sound quality cannot be fixed with an equalizer.
