Auto Room Equalization?


What do you currently think of Automatic Room Equalization, Audssey, for Home Theater and Stereo uses?

I use it and love it. As close to a flat response in the specific room is what it provides.

I was thinking about it, but decided I wanted my speakers to reflect their sonic 'signature'.
I would first address sound issues with room correction.
Just my 2 cents...

And I really have to wonder if all of the color and personality of some very special speakers and tube amps are getting some very unwanted distortion from "room coloring and personification"? How is that unique equipment personality preserved in an always imperfect listening environment?

BTW, I aim for flat response plus a bit extra on the low end. The music I listen to starts off with a mostly digital production and lands at my speakers in analog.
Hey Bob, that signature is crucial, no doubt. Maybe the Auto EQ is really crucial in oddly shaped listening environments. Vaulted ceilings, hallways, staircases, side rooms . . . I have them all in my primary space . . . a nightmare! A smaller and more enclosed environment does, hopefully, save that designed sound of the equipment. Thanks for your thoughts.
