How can a sound be superficially better? It either is or it isn't. It's all very well saying use your brain, but the reason that a lot of people like it is because it has easily ironed out issues in their room and given them better sounding audio.I think those using DSP "room correction" should get their brains into gear and logically work out what's actually going on, rather than accept RP as some form of magic that makes music sound superficially better
My room is an audio nightmare. Glass at both ends and in eved skylights, an opening next to one speaker but not the other and the speakers on the long side of the room, only 3m from the MLP, which is on a couch up against a wall. I can assure you that, having tried amps from Marantz, Cyrus and Rega the Lyngdorf, with RP and the ability to micro manage the settings is the only thing that's sorted things out.
So, it's not just blind acceptance, but a belief in very clever tech that's clearly doing what it was designed to. You not liking it/it not working for you is absolutely no reason to evangelize against it, which is what this feels like.
