Do not use cables as an eq device. I agree, measure the response. Speaker position and listening position can help quite a lot. Get it as flat as you can and then you can determine if the Q is low and the amplitude is not too bad, you can use capacitive traps, such as real traps. If the Q is high or the amplitude is high then you may have to use electrical correction such as our PARC.
I would recommend our Test CD over the Stereophile as it is calibrated for the RS meter. It can be found here.
Also, learn as much as you can about acoustics. Here are three good resources:
1. A room simulator
2. A basic acoustics tutorial
3. Many acoustical links including some web books
