Here are I am. Sorry for the delay. The PARC is designed to do exactly what you are interested in. As a company we direct all of our energy towards the acoustical environment. The PARC is an answer to the one problem that frequently yields very difficult, elaborate, and costly solutions--namely how do you deal with the bass room interaction. The potential solutions are: move walls so that the mode spacing is good, build in Helmhotz resonators, use a wall of bass traps, or use a device like the PARC. The PARC deals only with bass modes. It is fully analog and therefore does not corrupt the signal with an A/D or D/A conversion. It has 3 bands per channel that are full adjustable in terms of center frequency, width of band, and attenuation level. As to how it works with Omni directional speakers--the same as directional, probably better because they have a tendency to excite room modes more than directional counterparts. I would strongly urge you to work on speaker placement for the flattest response first, this will make using any correction device easier and more effective.

Room correction EQs with omnidirectional speakers?
My speakers are Shahinian Diapason, which are omnidirectional speakers. Also, I keep my conventional, forward-throwing Audioplay Reference-speakers. From time to time, I'd love to set up the Audioplay-speakers, which - being nearly 6 feet high, with two 30-cm-bass drivers, are too mighty for my room. I'd like to correct that, and, if possible, would like to improve the sound listening to the Shahinians as well. I do have a German Audionet ART V2 as CD-transport, a Chrod DAC-64, and McIntosh-preamp and amp. My question is: Does it make sense and is it possible at all to use a room correction system such as Behringer 8024, Tact or Z-Systems, with the Shahinians, which work with room reflections? Or is it good for conventional speakers only?
