cdwallace3 - OK now I see where YOU are going with this. I assume you would use an SPL meter to determine output levels at the various frequency ranges.
I agree though that a "methodize’d approach" as you describe, should get you a pretty flat response.
However - Mr Burwen seems to use his ears - from his web site...
Depending on what location you conduct the setup (e.g. at the speaker of at the listening position) you may still suffer standing waves, which I am not sure that an EQ will solve because they tend to be at a very narrow frequency range.
Perhaps this thread will inspire the owners of an EQ to test YOUR approach and let us know if they preferred the sound they had compared to the sound as adjusted, by their ears.
I think there will always be a "divide" as to what people believe makes a difference. Do companies commit a "fraud" or can they scientifically prove their products make a difference?
It really is up to the individual to perform their own "Due Diligence" and the assess the perceived value of any product.
However - I still consider much of what Mr’ Burmen’s states in his sound bite to be more like - "mis-information".
EXAMPLE - His ridicule of the difference cables can make is one area where I have observed significant improvements in sound quality - so for me - many of his comments seem to be based more on conjecture than fact.
But again - Different strokes for different folks :-)
Thanks for the enlightenment.

Using 12 of the sliders above, on the screen of a notebook PC, you balance to your taste the tone and ambiance of
any 1 to 8 channel program source played through all your speakers .
