I'm using Inguz to correct my Orions in my (pretty much untreated) living room. My experience so far is that I get the best results if I only touch the bass, and only by attenuating it (no boost). For WAF/MAF reasons I need to keep the speakers too close to the wall much of the time, and it's particularly helpful in reducing the giant bass peak that causes. > You can't manipulate a stereo signal so that the effect of reflections > in the listening room is cancelled.

Modes get very closely spaced at high frequencies (on a log scale, which is how we hear), and the distance between nulls and peaks becomes less than the distance between your ears.
