At first I was under the impression that this thread was about the use of the old style analog tone controls and the fact that they have disappeared from much of the equipment that's been on the market for quite a long while. I don't miss them, because I discovered (a long time ago) that while they can correct for some room problems it's best to fix the room issues first before adding any additional things in the signal path. My music system is fully analog and has no tone controls and I intend it to stay that way.
Now it seems that this discussion has morphed into the subject of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) which is an entirely different ballgame. I employ properly calibrated Audyssey XT PRO in my separate 9.2 channel HT room and find it invaluable for enjoying the movie experience - but it ain't analog and suffers from what most analog lovers complain about when they compare analog vs. digital.
These two methods of "sound shaping" or signal processing and the reasons for their use should not be confused.
Cheers,
