Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo to much bass on m80 speakers

I've tried using a Audio Contol Richter scale one third octave bass equalizer which is very highly rated,but again its a graphic equalizer and the improvement was minimal.If I remember correctly the old Stereo Review And High Fidelity magazines gave high marks to the SAE 800 for just such problems.However I can't find this information on the internet.SAE doesn't exist anymore and neither do Stereo Review & High Fidelity.By the way I have the m80's since June so theres no way I can return or exchange them .Whats about a vintage DBX 10/20 computerised equalizer with mike that supposedly equalizes automatically by using the mike and sweep tones? I've seen them on Ebay.The problem is they usually go for $500.I'm just about ready to throw in the towel which would really be a shame because otherwise these speakers are fantastic.
