I have tried a couple of the top computer room correction products. I've never been satisfied with the sound. The only room correction I've ever thought worked well is narrow band low frequency filters. The only success I've had is with filters less than the room's transition frequency which is about 250hz in my case. I've talked to some very smart folks and I am now understanding why the so called "target curve" approach may be deeply flawed. It's my conclusion that this target based approach cannot achieve it's stated goals.
Paul Hales articulates the shortcomings with modern day target based room EQ as well as anyone I've heard. The interview really begins at the 17:00 mark. Enjoy:

"If you have good loudspeakers, EQ above 200hz is a bad idea."
"The only way to change the acoustic space, is to change the acoustic space."
