Equalizer for McIntosh preamp - advice, please


I just received a McIntosh C200, which is an amazing preamp, but which does have no equalizing possibilities, as its smaller brother, the C42, does. It does have, however, a possibility tu use a sound processor with the preamp, which can then be turned on and off. As I do have a problem only with a nasty bass standing wave at 40 and 80 Hz, which is audible mostly with dynamic pop music, I think about including an equalizer. Does or did McIntosh produce such equalizers - maybe even for the bass only? And in general,
which good equalizers are there around? I am happy with the sound, and would not like to spend thousands of dollars line for a Tact room correction system. Any good equalizers with good bang for the buck?

FWIW the only way you can really kill your standing waves, and still retain good bass, electronically is with either a parametric equalizer or a 1/3rd band equalizer. You see the latter on EBay every once in a while.
