I don't believe the XSP has room correction, though it can be integrated into a theater system. I was following the XSP prior to its release but upon reading that the USP-1 was somewhat bright sounding, and upon discovering bright characteristics from my XPA Emotiva amp, became doubtful about Emotiva's house sound, although it would depend on one's speakers.
Parasound will be releasing a 2 channel pre-amp in September that is in their Halo line at around the same price as the XSP price. I've got my eye on that one these days.
