Hi,
My home stereo has one button which gets rid of tone stack
(eq). Good feature to check quality of source material.

flat signal coming out of t your speakers?

When I installed my new system, I was really dissappointed at how ear
piercing the high frequencies were with my new components. What I
realized just the other day, was that the mid range on my EQ (10 band EQ
in my case) was too low. I have always listened to my music with the
lows and highs cranked up, with the mids in the lower positions. Well
.... when I brought the mids closer to 'flat', I was able to turn the
volume down, and obtain less ear piercing (what sounded to me like) high
frequencies. I also found out that my EQ has something called a
parametric EQ in it ... not sure what it does, but by turning it down,
my sub woofer was not over powering the rest of the music. So far, I
like the balance I have achieved.
