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.

Trinnov is the only standalone I can think of but those features are built into the ADA and DataSat prepros.

The only one's I've seen or been referred to use RoomPerfect - Lyngdorf Audio, McIntosh, etc. Can't find any others.

I have heard the McIntosh at RMAF and a local dealer and it seems to do a lot of things right. But my concern is that if it is digitally altering the music delivery based upon room correction, is it really altering the music from it's original analog format? So what are you losing in that process, can't it be considered an extension of the tone control argument?

Theo: I would only consider this for HT. Not for 2.1 ch audio.

Also, in looking at the ME220 and the Lyngdorf, they are only 2 ch. Looking at the Trinnov now...

If you run a media server, you might want to consider Dirac Live. It runs on your computer and will handle 2 and 8 channels. The cost is $650 and they will give you a 2 week trial. I have not tried it yet but it looks very promising. Dirac is used in the Theta Casablanca and DataSat 20SI.
