Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Do you and airtime realize that many speakers are "equalized"....

...but the equalization is invisible because it's incorporated into the crossover in the form of notch filters, shelving, broad response shaping, phase shifting for time alignment and so on. All this done at high level using bulky, less than perfect passives.

A speaker specific equalizer is usually a much better option. Note that these line level equalizers are not the typical 1/3 octave things with a bazillion slider pots. The Mac MQ101 (for ML-1C and a few others) has 3 switched freq adj ranges for low, mid and high. Not a pot in sight.
