Actually what these amps are doing is not room correction, which is obviously impossible, but rather signal distortion in order to try and create a flat frequency response within a particular room with either....
- too many reflective surfaces
- too little absorbtion
- too much absorbtion
- too many similar dimensionsThe problem with this approach is that it doesn't actually address the real problem but rather masks it by creating another problem in much the same way as noise cancelling headphones.
But listening to +ve noise + -ve noise is not the same as listening to a pristine signal in the complete absence of noise.

- Too much theory ! If the bass from 55-60Hz. is 5dB too loud, it will sound better if cut by 5dB ! - Richard BassNut Greene 10:49:26 12/28/05 (0)
