Can Speaker Calibration REPLACE Acoustic Treatment?
TL;DR: Sonarworks quietly stopped calling their product "room correction" because it isn't. It's speaker EQ. It adjusts tonal balance at your listening position but does nothing about reflections, standing waves, or decay time. Treatment fixes those root causes. Calibration patches the symptom. Position your speakers first, treat second, calibrate third. The less the software has to fight your room, the better it performs. Room correction software or acoustic treatment. It sounds like a choice.
