Here's a radical solution - get two channels of
parametric equalizer and dial in the frequency response

Wasn't it the DEQ 2496 that was mentioned in a similar
context in a nearby newsgroup?


Could be. I've never had one to play with, but lots of people seem to like
'em.

A digital parametric like the DEQ is a better choice for eq newbies if it
has a real-time frequency response display. Helps people match up what
they are doing with what they are hearing.


Is the curve of the Bose EQ box published anywhere?


I think I saw it on the patent.

Anyway, its flat from 100 to about 2 kHz. There is up to an 18 dB peak at 30 Hz,
and a 12 dB peak at 12 kHz. Essentially, most everything is lost above 12 kHz.
