I've seen EQ correction systems advertised for your monitor, but I wonder how good are they really? Have any of your readers tried these? What if your room isn't treated? I'm sure many of these questions will be answered eventually, but choosing monitors for my room have been a long source of frustration. Hopefully this article series will address some of those frustrations.
I've tried one of the EQ correction systems (ARC
system 1), and wasn't overly impressed. To be fair, that system, and others, have progressed since then, so they may be more effective.)
I would say the best chance you have is to read a lot of reviews, do a lot of research, and buy what you decide are the best quality monitors that fit in your budget. After that, yes, getting used to how they sound in your room is important. If you don't have it yet, I would highly recommend you invest in SampleMagic's Magic AB v2 plug-in (I just reviewed it:

Of course, if it's in your budget to get your room acoustically treated, that's typically the best solution.
