I've had the same experience. But try listening to a track with some acoustic walking bass with and without room correction, and you'll hear an improvement that you would certainly notice even without "burn-in". In my room many bass notes are fat and distorted without RC, and that gets greatly improved. Changes to the balance at higher frequencies are more a matter of taste - personally, I've more or less stopped using room correction for anything above a few hundred Hz, because the wavelengths are just too short for it to be effective (unless you're really always listening from one precisely fixed position, which I'm not). It might be interesting to start a thread on RC, since many people here seem to use it.
