Can anything beat this combo for ~$100 ? EQ monitoring

What I'm really a lot more interested in is how the EQ adjustments on
powered monitors fit into this discussion. For example, what's the
difference between the EQ circuits one might add to a line output before a
monitor amp and those in a set of powered Genelecs?
One cool thing that's only really practical if built-in, or
at least dedicated to a particular model, is the ability to
completely specify the monitor's low frequency response,
independent of box size, driver Q, etc. Smaller boxes are
better boxes, and cheaper too.
Then, for a little more effort, some more gains can come from
delaying signal to some drivers to get them to blend best with
others. Only really practical by low-level electronics.
Both these advantages could be approximated by the OP's
proposed system IF the right information could be input
to the processing black-box. A microphone at listening
position in a reflective room could even do it with gating,
etc. Not ideal, but doable.
What's not doable is any change to the monitor's radiation
patterns or any change to the room (and everything else's)
reflections. As you and others have been at pains to try
to point out.
