You don't need to take the plunge, and you don't need to ask other people. This is something you are perfectly capable of figuring out for yourself and all by yourself, and you already have everything you need to do it.
Plop your sub down somewhere, anywhere, play some music with regular steady low bass, move slowly around the room, and listen. Note the places its really loud, and note the places you can hardly hear it.
Now move the sub and repeat. Notice some of the places it was too loud are now too quiet. Notice this changes depending BOTH on where you stand to listen, AND where you place the sub.
Now ask yourself, if I use room correction, which location am I going to correct for? Really think about it. Eventually you will realize room correction can make it sound fine only in the one spot. Everywhere else it makes worse.
If that is what you're after, and you like spending money on stuff like that, then go for it.
Now for your next lab project, what will cleaner power sound like? For this one first get your system all nice and warmed up. Sit yourself down in the sweet spot and play your favorite recording. Play the whole thing. Relax. Enjoy.
Now go out to your breaker panel, flip off all the breakers, leaving on only the ones you need for the system, maybe a few lights. Everything else you flip off.
Go back in and listen to your favorite track again. Or any track, for that matter. I'll be surprised if you're not shocked how much better it sounds. Everyone I've ever done this for sure has been.
The improvement you heard, you can get at least that much from a good power conditioner, power cord, stuff like that. Note I said "good". Most of what's out there is not that good. But now, in addition to discovering you don't need room correction but do want cleaner power, you also now have a baseline reference to judge your cleaner power by.
This is what we used to call teach a man to fish. As opposed to give the man a fish. Now which, I wonder, will you choose?
