Graphic equilizers?


This may be obvious to most of you, but it isn't to me. I'm in the process of upgrading my speakers from PSB 5T's to Vandersteens, model yet to be determined. I've gotten good advice on other threads about this topic. The PSB's have an aluminum tweeter that can sound so harsh it gives me a headache. I've tried placement, tissue paper taped over the tweeter which works, sort of, and I have some "tweeter rings" on the way. I'm driving them with a Creek 5350 integrated amp, which does not have tone controls. Wouldn't an equilizer solve ALL the problems? I used to own one made by Sound Craftsman that was touted to add no distortion to the signal. I know that we now have digital correction, but the price is beyond me. Does anyone out there use an equilizer, and if so what model? I would appreciate advice.

I've noticed that the harshness is most noticable on CD's, and not FM or the satellite feed. My CD player is a Rotel 951 and I'm using Silver Serpent cables from Better Cables. Someone advised me that an MSB Link would smooth things out, and I have one one the way. The III with the upsampling card.
I would make the attempt with cables and things, but the only problem is that no two people agree which ones are the RIGHT ones. I will check into the Rane. Thankyou for your responses.
