Way Cool-thats how!
For me i've never really noticed the distortion that many claim tone controls add,but i've always liked the flexability that tone's have allowed.
Granted i'm dealing usually with Mid Fi equipment,and making up for sound shortcomings is what Eq is all about.
My speaker's are all pretty much matched up now (Paradigm Studio Ref's),and tweeking the fronts as needed-leaves the center and rears out in the cold.
For those that abstain from tone controls I did not mean to insult.
