Loudspeakers 10 band emulation (for fun)

[AJM1981]

A topic for fun mainly. Taken with a big grain of salt as it excludes a lot of factors.

Recently I got some quite good quality earbuds that came with a ten band EQ option. While listening I thought about asking A.I. to create some loudspeaker profiles based on these ten bands. I have shared some below.
