Thank you. Your explanation was exactly the information I was looking for.

So it sounds like I can have some measure of control, but not as intricate or subtle as a multiband equalizer.

With my old speakers, I wasn't happy until I got a 24 band equalizer. I may end up doing the same this time, but first I will hook it up and listen for a week before making a decision.

See my other thread where I posted this question -- Does anyone know if a digital-controls equalizer can give good sound quality? I'm thinking of the Technical Hifi EQ-S5200, 10 bands.
