i think those highpass filters on speakers are mainly for the situation where your speaker is too close to the rear wall, cause your room is too small or something... |

Basic idea: Trigger a tone of known volume level in the bass region, then measure the volume of it at your listening position. I'm thinking white noise, filtered off around the cut-off frequency that your bass adjustment on your monitors are at. Normally, the sound will decay within an expected norm (due to distance & possible normal absorption of things around you). You measure the sound at your listening position, & see how it compares with the test signal. Position relative to walls, and standing waves can easily cause peaks & nulls from +6dB to -20dB, or more.
Another quick & dirty way to do it is sit right in front of the speaker while playing a song you known inside & out on how it should sound. Take note of the balance of bass to mids & highs. Now go to your listening position. Turn the bass down on the monitors until you get that same balance as from in front.

try this out ... it would cost almost the same as acoustic treatment (maybe much less depending on where you decide to purchase the treatment from) and it has been recommended by many!!

Not a good use of your money buying EQ correcting software/hardware: http://www.realtraps.com/art_audyssey.htm
If you are going to spend any money, get acoustic treatment first, no question!

Why is it not a good use of money? I mean, if it works, it works...
And in my case, I kinda live in my studio, and the room is so large and open, that it's impossible to treat the room, without putting up a wall around my desk.
I have read alot of reviews on this product and all of them say that it works really good.
So I think that it will actually be cheaper for me to get this, instead of trying to foam up my entire apartment...

Because you are only treating a small portion of the problem. And because the appropriate EQing is very dependent on your listening position, a change of even a few inches could skew your results. Taking multiple calibration points is a little like working on old iron piping, you fix one area only to cause a problem in another.
I'm not saying it is a worthless product, but buying it first is like spending a lot of money on a hi-tech CD player when your speakers suck. It just doesn't make much sense to me to do it in that order.
I have yet to see any data to backup their claims. Keep The Faith,

@Dharma Lab
Well, Now from what I have read and heard, the system will be configured to set up at sweetspot that will fit your normal position infrom of your monitors, with possibility to move around, like you normally do.
Anyway, I just got the ARC today, but guess what, no microphone in the package...  Going to return it tomorrow and see if I can get one that actually contains what is needed...
