To Bob's point on EQ to 300 hz.
This is obviously room dependent. Every listening room I've had (and measured) has had obvious issues below 150hz. IME, above this point (including the falling treble response I usually get above 10khz), room effects are still present, but much less severe/troublesome. Between 80ish hz and 150ish hz, room treatments (hemholtz resonators or "Bassbusters") have proven very effective in my efforts to "clean up". Below 80ish hz, it's either soffit or EQ, unless your room is large enough to approximate an anechoic chamber.
My bottom line: I can usually live with the "bottom end" room effects between 150hz and 300hz, "resonate" them away between 80ish and 150ish, and EQ them below that. This is just my preferred solution. FWIW.
