monitor amp and those in a set of powered Genelecs?

I would speculate that when well done (which could be rare) such
embedded EQ might be matched more precisely to the characteristics of
the speaker than a general EQ, much as the amps in a powered speaker can
be designed to mate with the characteristics of the cabinet and drivers.

Aha! Then what about cheap-ass powered monitors and their on-board EQs?
