Hi all, know this post is old. Has this tone control issue been fixed? I'm having trouble finding any info on it.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new P5 clearance.

@pdjmwj If you’re using tone controls there’s something much more seriously wrong with your system or room that should be addressed before resorting to tone controls.  Just my $0.02 FWIW.

I tend to see only the positive of having tone controls.  I have a Schiit Lokius connected to my tape loop.  I can turn on and off the tape loop and hear exactly how the Lokius is impacting the sound versus not having it in the signal path.  I think it is a worthwhile and fun piece of equipment.

With it I can add a bit of sparkle to the highs or a touch more bass should I choose which I sometimes do.  

I tend to think of a speaker's voicing, as with any other piece of audio equipment, as that as interpreted by the designer.  So why not alter (slightly) this presentation if not 100% my preference in general or for a particular song?

Also just my $0.02 FWIW.

I guess what I am saying is that I am occasionally using the tone controls to enhance my listening enjoyment, not to correct a weakness.
