Equalization


I have noticed many Integrated Hi End amps do not have any EQ.
Why?
How do people adjust their tone or why they do not?

Most buy their speakers for the sound they prefer and don't need/want to add filters(tone controls), which can detract from sound quality, as well as interfere with internal crossovers in the speakers.

Yup.
I bought my Vandersteen Treo's for their sound and capabilities and incorporated amps/preamps/DAc's that work well with them.
For the most part, I have no desire to alter their sound reproduction. They reproduce music as it was recorded. Any deficiencies are mostly due to the recording.

There are some digital EQ systems out there to correct room response, but are rather expensive.
