Now to answer the OPs question and stay on topic. Yes the room correction feature can improve the sound in a given room with many different speakers. It certainly did with my Acoustic Zen Crescendo and Harbeth 40.1 speakers. I also know of 2170 owners that did not realize the same degree of improvement as I did. It will really depend on several factors. Here are a couple to consider.
If you have taken the time to fine tune your speaker placement using set up methods such as Sumiko, then the RC may not yield as much improvement. However, if your listening space is not a dedicated room and the speakers have been placed out of the way to please your spouse, then RC can help greatly.
With the speakers I mentioned above the bass became more full and impactful. Without RC the speakers sounded a tad thin through the mid-bass. RC gave me more of a full bodied sound which I wanted. Now here is where the subjective aspect shows up again. Others may have liked the leaner sound more. Our impressions and experiences always have a subjective aspect to them. Always.
In another room the RC feature helped the 40.1 speakers sound less muddy and thick. It just going to depend on your speaker, room, and listening position. All shared experiences will likely differ.
The only way for you to really know is to trial the unit in your room with your speakers. This is the ONLY way for you to really know for yourself.
