RE: just how much 'damage' would a graphic eq do to my system?

You would likely get better results by chucking the Mackies. I don't know which version you have, with the aluminum drivers or not. I have the original release models here and they aren't too bad. They put the low-f passive radiator on the back of the cabinet, which kind of limits speaker placement.

As far as EQ goes, a graphic has ISO centered frequencies. What are the chances that your problem frequencies will fall exactly on those filters? None. You would be better off with a parametric IMO. You can dial in the specific f desired, the size of the bell and reduce the interaction between frequencies that are not a problem. If you do get a graphic, you might consider a 1/6th octave from White or some other company instead of a 1/3. A good graphic that actually boosts or cuts what it says it is ain't cheap.

Behringer is crap. No way around that.
