Just interested to see what percentage of people use EQ, I guess I'm looking at it from the point of should a system be right in the 1st place without any adjustment and if you're having to make changes maybe the system's not good or possibly just not right for you.
I appreciated different people have different tastes which age and it's effect on hearing will also change to a degree.
If for example you have bright'ish speakers but love the detail, clarity and punch they offer, if you feel you need to start adjusting the EQ to make them more palatable, would you consider they're the wrong speakers (or amp maybe) or do you just consider it part of the "hobby".
Obviously if you have a system that on turning it up, it distorts horribly, or if your speakers are just plain "boxy", you're starting point isn't great ... so I am assuming it's with a reasonable level of equipment to begin with.
You so often seee comments about pairing as well, if you have a restrained amp and the same with your speakers and the combination is a bit "dull", again won't tweaking the EQ bring it back to life?
Really interested to hear people's thoughts on this.
