Yes, but those graphs also show the raw response. The ETF data files for those graphs, and many others taken in the same session, are available for download here:

RealTraps - EQ versus Bass Traps

The above article also shows in excruciating detail exactly how ineffective EQ really is compared to bass traps.

Agreed, and I have stated publicly many times that I use the one-band cut-only EQ built into my SVS subwoofer to tame a small peak around 40 Hz in my living room. The EQ really does help at that very low frequency.
