egg cartons will maybe help as crappy diffusors, but they contribute nothing to elimination of standing waves.

Read the posts in that thread again. Pretty much everyone who use them say RNC improves the sound if the room is not properly treated.
Even Ethan Winer admits that the EQ'ing can be an improvement:

This is not to say that reducing peaks with EQ is of no value, but it is not the "total solution" the marketing hype would have you believe. Contrast that to bass traps and other room treatment which always improve peaks, nulls, and ringing at all locations in the room. |

To claim that using EQ to even out a room response doesn't work at all is certainly incorrect, but so is claiming that it's a good solution instead of treating the acoustics.

Yes & maybe you should read this part again:
Earlier this year I was invited to speak about acoustics at the NARAS division of the Grammys, which was held at the Hit Factory / Criteria studios in North Miami. They set up three pairs of speakers in a lounge room typical of the size people use for home studios. The audience auditioned all three speakers with and without acoustic treatment, using the same music repeatedly. (I had brought one of our Standard Room Kits.) We also played the JBLs with and without RMC engaged. I forget some of the exact speaker model numbers, but one was a pair of JBL's LSR series, another was a pair of Genelecs, and the third was Yamaha NS-10s. Besides myself and the audience, there were four high-profile engineers there including Charles Dye and Eric Schilling who mixed all of Gloria Estefan's big hits from years past. At dinner afterward all four professional engineers said they thought the JBL speakers were "okay," but only when the EQ was disabled.

Descision is: EQ can help, sometimes, in a very limited way.
Think I'll disable that EQ on the master and concentrate in DIYing...
Thank you guys

A wise old man once told me this...
Treat acoustic problems acoustically and electronic problems electronically.
:0) thats all you need to know for the studio.
Live sound is were compromise is made. The engineer should normally "ring out" the system/venue to find frequencies of feedback and then will cut accordingly. This isn't ideal and is why many venues sound pants.
