Graphic Eq: Ashly, Bss, Dbx or Klark Teknik?

Hi.
Wanting to purchase a middle range graphic Eq for Live Monitors. It seems those 4 models stand out but which one is best and possibly usable for foh and studio (quiet and effective)
Klark Teknik Square One 30band Eq
BSS Opal FCS-966
ASHLY GQX3102
DBX 2231

thanks guys!

I can't recommend KT gear highly enough.

The DBX has always been good to me as well.

Used ASHLY gear & BSS stuff before... did he job admirably... but no specific thoughts.


My vote: Go with the KT.

Klark

I love their stuff. I use their DI's for my keyboards in the studio and have used their outboard at events.

Out of those options, in my experience.. the square one sounds the best.. but the opal is more reliable.. and still sounds decent..

The dbx is nothing special at all..

But I'd strongly reccomend, picking a secondhand kt dn360.. might cost you a bit more.. but theres a reason they've been the industry standard for years.. amazing sounding graphic, never had an issue with one..

klark is the best in this section off the eq world, so i would pick them also, altough dbx ad ashly are also good, but don't make it when a klark teknik is in the neighbourhood. BSS i like less
