Todd. In general, EQ is no longer considered a good way to treat a room's deficincies and is usually recommended as a last resort. Room treatment seems to be the recommended method of 'fixing' a room.

Lots of people do use stuff like the Audessey auto EQ that is built in to many receivers. Results seem to be mixed.

In general, it is difficult to eq above the point where room modes affect sound (up to 300Hz).

Quite a number of people, me included, use EQ to level out bass frequencies: basically offstting the effects of room modes.

Using EQ or tone controls it, as Johnk mentioned, another area where some people still use EQ.
