Should Equalizers make a comeback?

Some like warm, some like bright, some like neutral. Should hardware equalizers make a comeback? Basically aren't Marantz and Rotel amps just rolled off a tiny bit in upper end? In the recording world, you can buy a one box Focusrite mic preamp emulator that seeks to recreate the classics from the past (I'm sure it lacks in pure sound quality from the originals). Would something like this work for audiophiles?

I finally used an EQ that I can live with. It's the EQ that comes with the Amarra pro music software. This is professional and very transparent. I've been deadset against EQ for at least 20 years, and this one not only works, it sounds great. A big improvement if you tweak it right. I have a spectrum analyzer and decent mike to do the analysis.

A BIG advantage of using a computer as a source, not to mention the Hi-res file capabiliity.
