What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers


This seems to be a popular trend with many speaker brands. Some have internal amplification with DSP's and some have external implementations of it like Legacy. I have heard some good results with it being used but don't necessarily like the idea of everything being digitized for the sake of room/bass correction. Do you own or plan on buying a speaker like this, or have you heard any using it?

To misquote, keep the signal path as simple as possible, but not simpler.  Who out there uses a single driver loudspeaker with no electrical crossover?  It's a far less cluttered signal path than the complex multi driver setup most people use.  But maybe it's too simple and has too many compromises.  For most listeners the added complexity of a multi driver loudspeaker is worth it.  Loudspeaker design is filled with compromises and using DSP is just another compromise.  If it works, then it works.
