I have no clear idea whether equalizing or absorbing a bass peak is better.
I definitely believe that buying an using a digital equalizer with its
associated microphone would be, for me, more achievable than learning how to
build a bass absorer that would be just right for the frequency and
amplitude of the bass peak. Not that I have used such an equalizer, but I am
considering buying and trying. However, before spending I would like to
hear of some RAHE contributor experiences in this area.

I didn't read your links and I have no training in physics.
Nevertheless I
say that if you can have deep bass in the space between a headphone
diaphragm and your eardrum, or in a car, you can have bass in your room.
The
size isn't the problem, but the dimensions may be. Have you actually had
a
problem or are you just asking?

What about medium- and large-sized room? I listen music in a 5.5 * 6
mt with 4.5 mt ceiling. I expect excess bass at around 344/4 = 86 Hz
which i tame with a digital equalizer. Should it be better to dump the
mode with a passive absorber (in principle it it easier to build a
bass absorber at a higher frequency)
