Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer


Can two different speakers be made to sound similar by adjusting their frequency response to mirror each other with an equalizer? I'm sure it's not as simple as that but would it be possible. 

Can one, for example, reproduce a harbeth like sound by doing that?

Just curious.

IMO no you can bandaid but can’t replicate something better. I had the Lyngdorf 2170 and it made Tekton Double Impacts sound amazing when room correction engaged. The difference with some other speakers was actually worse than natural. So dunno. My guess is efficient speakers are much easier to voice with EQ or room correction. 

I should have said it would be hard to replicate but with a great room correction software you can improve like a MF. Depending on the speaker. EQ however ehhh I tried that a little and your always dicking with it. 

No.  An equalizer can not remedy slow transient response, compressed dynamics or many other characteristics.
