I'm with Kal - in most circumatances I feel the option of a good Auto Eq is worth having for the low marginal cost when integrated into the processor. Remembering it can be turned off at will. There are so many room problems in most listening rooms that speak placement or treatment would not solve and leave a livable room.
I sold my beloved RSP-1098 for a Denon AVP-A1HD to get the Auto Eq and would not go back. In my room Auto Eq makes a transormational difference to the sound field aht is nigh and day to the RSP-1098. Yes for pure stereo sometimes it can sound better with Auto Eq off (one button) but 99% of the time Auto Eq in my room just blows away the sound of the very good RSP-1098 taking it a a new level... But then so it should the Denon is something like 3 times the price...
Cheers
