Which part of audio components determine the sound "flavor"?

Room is most important component. Room can kill any speakers.

Next are speakers.

Of course rest components impact too.

I'm wondering, available room correction systems suppress resonanses or boost too?

Not sure what boost means?  More amplification for a certain frequency band (??)

 

Yes. I meant electronical frequerncy response correction.

 

I meant boost as resonance that increase level at frequency.

 

As far as I know, the "boost" may be decteased by EQ, but "dips" (inverse boosts, that Mansr mentioned) must not be corrected. Because compensation of lost acousric energy may lead to overload system or be just uneffective.
