Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

“Flat is boring and usually too bright. “

If this is true then your system is not flat. Plain and simple 

The best studio analog EQ 9-13 grand all made with the highest quality parts and would rival the best hi fi gear. Research that too online. This should be obvious. I think, anyway 

@mijostyn , I am impressed by your aptitude with implementing biamping and crossover techniques. These are things I know little about. I’ll bet your system does indeed sound really great. Probably different than mine. I might could beat you on some recordings that are older and lacking in tonality. But really great more modern recordings I’ll bet with the knowledge you’ve applied that your system really shines😊. I still think the analog air band in hi fi is “magic sauce.”  Well anyway, I’d be cool in a parallel universe to switch systems for a stretch and see what we learn. 
so you were an FP as well?  CONGRATS on being retired. So you’re in Fl as well?  Miami?

And @mahgister , your aptitude in articulating psycho acoustic theory blows my mind!  Indeed there are so interesting folks here!

Sorry if I get so intense here. But I’m very very passionate about my approach. I still believe after years of accumulated listening experience with many different hi fi systems that my approach yields a uniquely special and very intoxicating (and yes, very hi fi) sound.
