Yeah, Audyssey can pull down the peaks (frequency domain), but it can't fix early reflections that cause smearing (time domain). Audyssey actually does quiet the attack of some frequencies that are prone to reverberation. Pulling down peaks in the bass range is just treating a symptom. Standing waves are also a time problem, and are best handled by not letting them form.

So yeah, neat tricks. And if it is included in the receiver you own, it may be worth it (since it's pretty much free). But fixing the room is the real solution.
