Yes, that is an issue with a lot of these newer speaker systems. They have all sorts of room correction technology involved with them. Kii and Eikon sound great at shows, but that is not going to work for me. Personally, I'm just interested in "plug and play" speakers. Now, some speakers, such as Revel Ultima, have more basic controls directly on the speaker to adjust bass and/or treble response, which I think would be fine.
In my situation, it's not that I have expensive pre and dac units, but I have a multi-channel audio setup that has to go through an AVR or AVP to be able to play my SACD, DVD-Audio, and Blu-ray movie titles over HDMI.
