Standalone Room Correction Component

What are the current room correction components out there that only correct for room effects. No cost limitations, through cheaper is always better. I know there are some out there specific for subwoofers but I was looking for one that controls full range with delays, etc. for a 2ch to 7.1ch setup. Auto correction as well as manual correction would be a plus. Thanks.

Audyssey made a stand-alone unit at one time, but I'm not sure if it's still available. I believe that TACT made one, too - but I mention it with the same caveat re: current availability.

I'd agree and - IME - extend that statement to dedicated rooms.

I've had professionally designed, heavily treated, dedicated theater AND two channel rooms in each of my last two homes. (Due in large part to Kal's observations), I tried Audyssey in each room. Others may disagree, but I found it a 4 for 4, 100% no-brainer. Everyone's got different priorities, but I regard any trade-off in transparency (in both theater and two-channel rooms) as trivial relative to the overall sonic improvement - particularly in the bottom two + octaves.
