And for me, that’s OK and perfectly fine. A little response tailoring often suits me. It’s not your place to decide what’s OK for folks.
It’s just that we don’t all want that.
No need to get your knickers in a knot.
That fine, if you're willing to take the chance, as the "response tailoring" as you so quaintly call it, will be different for every speaker you put it on.
So you never know if your going to like the "tailoring" it's doing until you bought it.
BTW: It's still a tone control that doing EQ, which ever way you look at it, which will be a different EQ for every different speaker.
