RE:Equalization is not Evil!

A good loudspeaker system should use drivers that are optimized for the physical characteristics - cone stiffness, suspension compliance, Q's and F's and a host of other perameters - if it doesn't have a flat response but does all the other stuff exceptionally - then a little (or lot) of Passive (or Active EQ) is a great way optimize the frequency response. Note you can't just use any EQ - to preserve an great impulse response you need to properly model the EQ, the correct poles and Zeros. Remember it is not the frequency response we are trying to optimize (the room destroys that) it is the impulse response. A flat frequency response is the result of a good impulse response. Heyser taught us that!
