That's a lot of money to get a complete spectrum to sound it's best! It also seems the SPL PassEQ is good at lows & mids but not as great on the highs. Maybe the Gyraf or Buzz could be a better all-rounder??

Matt, there will be good all-rounders out there, but you'll always find it better to use 2-3 different eqs for different areas - what do you already have? What are you missing?
BTW , IMO 822 has tight lows AND smooth highs... 825 highs a bit softer and silkier, 822 tighter, both SMOOTH... splitting hairs here... 825 softer in bass but still very full, rich and defined, much less wooly than MP ... 825 probably the best all-rounder IMO... (remember I haven't tried 823...)... Yes, you'll have to buy to try EAR, but the re-sell value is very good in the unlikely event that you don't like it. PM me if you want more info...
You should really check the Pullet for the mids if you're prepared to experiment with pres.... After owning all of the above (+ Passeq) and testing MP I chose the Pullet + TAB V376 and 822s for the Pasive part of the setup ...
