Well, any room correction system will work, but Inguz is the least expensive. I use Acourate to generate filters for both Inguz and the TacT RCS. They sound somewhat different, and Inguz should be more accurate since it has more filter taps than the TacT unit. I've been using Inguz exclusively lately. Ideally, room correction subtracts the room from the reproduction, leaving you with just the recording venue. In practice, the improvement depends on the source material, speaker placement, room dimensions, etc. The primary benefit is in the bass reproduction. Without room correction, bass may vary with frequency by up to 20 dB - hardly high fidelity. In my room, the 3a's measure +/- 6 dB from 30Hz to 300Hz without correction, and are within +/- 2 dB with correction. A secondary benefit is the ability to do tonal shaping to correct for too-bright recordings, etc. The sonic improvement is better definition in the bass and a more three-dimensional reproduction of the soundstage. Some users miss the "bass boom" and think that the corrected sound is bass-shy. Of course, you can change the correction curve to add as much bass as you like back - it will still be better-defined than without correction.
