Who uses DSP in their two channel or multichannel set up?
How do you like to set up your house curve?

How many dB difference? I have experimented with a 6 dB up to 12 dB difference.Same for everything, pretty linear slope from mild bass boost to mild treble cut.

Have you ever tried a 2.1 with 2 channel?
Yes I mean a sub. I have two and I was going to try a Dirac live set up with my mains and the subs.I am not sure without pulling up the Dirac Live file and looking. I think bass boost is about 3 dB and the curve is about 3 dB down at 20 kHz. I will engage the loudness control when listening at low levels but find too much bass boost overpowering. As for the treble, I can't hear over about 12 kHz now (too many wild, loud times when I was younger), but my sons like the top end of my system.
I am not sure what you mean by "2.1 with 2 channel". I have had a subwoofer since I first built my own servo design around 1979 or 1980 to go with my Magnepan MG-I's. I am a strong proponent of having a good sub or two (currently four in my system) and rolling off the mains (using an active crossover, which is now part of my pre/pro unit, natch). I had a sub for music decades before I heard about HT applications or had a system for HT.
I totally agree that the room matters but most do like some bass relative boost.Surely the only real answer is 'the right one' i.e. the curve that the interaction between the room and the correctly set up speaker produces - rather than it being a target.
Beyond that, I'm told a lot of audiophiles favour the 'smiley face' EQ setting.
What are you measuring with, and correcting with currently? They sound large adjustments, especially if they are over a large frequency range.How many dB difference? I have experimented with a 6 dB up to 12 dB difference.
What is the real world parallel of a user-preferred house EQ setting? I don't think it makes any sense.
In the real world you can't ask the orchestra to boost the mids and cut the treble. All you can do is ask them to play louder on the violins and play the trumpets more quietly. And then they sound as though they are playing louder on the violins and playing the trumpets more quietly. Once you get into the subjective EQ game you have already lost the hi-fi battle; your EQ variations bleed all over the individual instruments and blur them all together; you are regarding sound as textureless audio paste.
All there is is 'high fidelity' (as close as you can get) and 'audio paste'. If you find that 'high fidelity' doesn't sound any good, there is something wrong with your system somewhere: it could be better!

The house curve is...
A house/target curve after DRC is entirely subjective , B&K have a suggested curve , but this is not cast in stone. I set the curve by ear
This is what I use with my trinnov
And this is what I often used for DIRAC
