Hello, all -

I know full well the stunned silence and subsequent gnashing of teeth  
that usually follows any mention of the word "equalization" among  
audiophiles. The argument that one's hearing can compensate for the  
deficiencies of one's listening environment always struck me as rather  
un-audiophilic. After all, if one can adjust to a sorry listening  
environment without any detriment to the aesthetic experience, one  
should also be able to adjust equally well to a pathetic sound system.  
That, it seems, would rather defeat the sacred quest of the  
audiophile: Perfect Sound Reproduction.

At any rate, preambles aside, would anyone care to recommend an  
equalizer to balance a given listening room? This would be for a  
stereo system, in this case, mostly Acoustat components, including  
electrostatic loudspeakers. I understand that there have been very  
positive steps in equalizer evolution, including vast improvements in  
linearity and phase issues.

Any advice is welcome...

Cheers,
Zenon Marko
