- Real audiophiles do use EQ's since most rooms are not acoustically
- perfect or even near perfect. A good EQ allows you to "flatten" your
- room as much as possible. Although a flat response may not be what you
- like, you can adjust the EQ in any way you like. I think the EQ
- enhances the sound quality of any type of music since you have much
- more control in your bass, treble, and midrange as compared to just the
- controls on your amplifier or receiver. I haven't kept up with the
- current line of EQ's in past t wo or three years but a good brand to
- look at is the higher end of the AUDIO CONTROL line.
