LOL you probably won't even read this since this thread was started so long ago, but I had the same reaction you did to that post.
I've been eq'ing my shit for many many years. I have bose am 5 speakers. not the best by far, but without eq in any given room they can and do sound like shit depending on the room environment, furniture. is the floor hard surface, or with carpet. acoustical properties of objects and shape of the room even the materials of objects effects sound tremendously!
Plus you have speaker engineers that are told to make speakers sound better for certain types of music. Pop was huge in the 80's you bet they tuned speakers to be more agreeable with that type of music.
Pop tuned speakers sure don't sound that great for metal music! Hence the use of EQ to fix any aberrations caused by any of those factors. Plus it is subjective anyways. What sounds good to you may not sound good to others. An engineer can mix 'til it's 'perfect' doesn't mean I'll like how he mixed it.
I prefer a rich sounding bass so the kick drum and 'chunk' of the guitar stands out a bit more. I adjust my EQ accordingly. Sometimes depending on the era of music I have to readjust my EQ.
80's metal was recorded very flat(for the most part). And recording tech at the time wasn't as advanced as now and mixing is a bit different. There is a lot more bass in modern metal than back in the 80's. So if I pop in some old Anthrax I invariably want to turn the bass up a bit more compared to newer recordings that already have more bass mixed in.
That was just one statement that I had to sign up and say something! I could not believe the ignorance of that post! A sound engineer may know a damn site more about sound production than me. But he sure as fuck doesn't know what my preferences are when listening to music and how I like it mixed.

I use an EQ in winamp, but that's part tuning to the room you're in (as Erik put it) and part personal preference. I like a slightly scooped EQ.
As for computer speakers I must say that my Klipsch Promedia 2.1s were amazing. I only had them for a few months then my brother kicked the sub up against the wall damaging one of the ports... but for the brief time I had them I enjoyed them immensely.

I guess this would be a good thread to ask, can anyone recommend me some speakers for my record player?
