- Parametrics should be only used as a last resort. They don't
- really work as well as they should. You can get great
- looking room charts that sound poor if you use EQ to overcome
- other problems.

- - cut only prefered.
-
- The above comes from experience of 'tuning' a room many times
- in the studio. As far as EQ goes, less is more.
