Mcintosh MQ112

Hi all -

I have a pair of B&W 802d's (first version). Now I know everyone thinks that they are crap and as bright as the sun.

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

thanks in advance....

Falls apart sonically with bigger moves. There pro pieces that sound better. Have heard many in my home that best LM. I own one that I love. Not made anymore but a total gem. Have not heard the MQ112 but want to.
