Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

To be clear, nobody can be against or in favor of the hammer ...

A hammer is a tool we must learn how to use ...Understanding craftmanship as we must learn acoustics...

Hammer and saw are no more craftmanship than EQ. is acoustics ...

We cannot be against or in favor of a tool  ...😊 We use it in the right circonstances  in some way...

The question about using or banning EQ.  as tool  is meaningless because beside the acoustic central questions where all tools are necessary at some time in some way with some problems  ...

Why not simply try a Lokius first and hear for yourself??????

I’ve yet to read a comment by anyone who’s upgraded from a Loki or Lokius to Loki Max for reasons of SQ. So far, the reasons given have always been associated with ease of use.

@tlcocks

Have you actually compared the Loki Max to studio gear in your system?

If so, could you list some specific pro audio EQ units you’d recommend?

Yes. To both. Re read the thread!

Sorry the frustration. Yes have compared directly. It’s in my link on page 1. It’s stated elsewhere throughout. The 3 pro pieces I’ve had in my home are on page 1. I suspect @mirolab has had many more pro pieces in his home. 

I used to be 'against it', then when building folded horn subs 15-20 years ago, became reliant on EQ for LP and correction.

Now, I have a pair of much smaller sealed HSU ULS15's and still use EQ in a narrow way (pun intended)...

Even after treatment, I still have a bump in my frequency response at 2 room modes (45hz and 95hz) which I cut in Roon using 2 very narrow Q EQ filters, -6dB each at those frequencies.    I add nowhere, just these 2 cuts.

Since you can flip the filters on/off in Roon from your iphone/ipad, it's easy to test and adjust.  They definitely help cut both boom and decay and tighten up the response.
