Personally, I agree with Dick Grantges.  The ability of an equalizer to correct
frequency response abberations in a room (and to second-guess the recording
engineer) more than offsets the minor phase distortion and noise that a
good EQ will add.  A spectrum analyzer is essential to properly EQ a room
without much hassle, and many of the better units combine an EQ with an
analyzer.  The key thing is to get a GOOD EQ, which will set you back $500+
(a cheapo one isn't worth the trouble).
