If using an EQ makes your listening more enjoyable then use one.

I agree!

Before tossing them aside, what do you feel about adding a Mcintosh MQ112 equalizer after my preamplifier?

I would say good idea,  I use a White Instrument 4100 EQ ten bands per channel.

The old advice about sound degradation using EQs is just that, by and large an old wives tale.  Without an EQ you are locked into what the designers thought was the sound you like.  Adding an EQ to slightly tweak your sound to your preference is both fun and satisfying.  

I agree! 

See paragraph below from the designers of my speakers about EQ.

''RAMIFICATIONS OF THE NEW DESIGN APPROACH 1. The room curve will be fIatter; equalization will be more accurate Studio monitors are generally equalized as a matter of course. Control rooms are rarely as smooth at low frequencies as may be desired, and mounting conditions for the monitors are not always _ideal. Further, the user's concept of monitor equalization balance may not agree with that of the manufacturer. Even though we believe that constant coverage monitors will require less equalization than previous designs, the need for equalization may still exist,'' See full article here.
