Hi Eric, I'm no professional and the other posts are certainly knowledgeable, but my experience is to use a 30 band graphic equalizer you can get one used for about $100. This allows you to tailor the bass, which means smoothing out the sound, you can't add to the nulls, but you can detract from the peaks. Yes, using bass traps, etc., are preferable, but with the 30 band you can adjust to your liking. Equalizers are controversial, but then when you use cables as tone controls, just try it and see if it works for you and your room. If you buy used (ebay) and don't like what you hear, you can recoup most of your money and be wiser for the experience. I have the Rives and RS meter as well, and a bass tone cd that does it in 1db increments to 100db. My experience is the bass is foremost, followed by annoying highs which can be the recording as well. The hard part is to get it balanced so that not only do your test music cd's sound great, but the rest of your cd's/records sound better. If I had my dream eq it would have presets for about 5 different settings since recordings differ so much. I have also tried the digital Beringer 30 band, but went back to the analog type because I didn't like the digital sound, and the extreme highs were lost. Good luck!
