Nobody said panacea. For speaker manufacturers/dealers and hence reviewers, DSP is pan-and-see-ya'.
Everyone has an agenda. For those with a genuine interest, there are really good free opportunities for individual exploration.

I see dsp as useful for systems with digital source. It makes little sense for those who prefer analog sources because they act as analogue-to-digital converters for audio signals coming from analogue sources like turntables and tape machines, before applying the room correction algorithms in the digital domain. Nobody in analog that I know of wants their music converted a/d as there is a loss of spatial information, timbral accuracy, sound stage depth and width, ect....mostly due to digital mastering choices of source that was mastered in analog originally.
