Hello all,  I am fairly new here.   I am the recent purchaser of three well used pairs of Stax from Ebay and am still playing with them!   I will probably keep the Lambda + Lambda Pro as they are "best".   My speakers have had very little use in the past month.

Thanks to PiccoloNamek for his excellent EQ tutorial:

I have some questions for anyone caring to respond:
 
1.  It sounds (pardon the pun) that the best way to eq your phones is subjectively.   Using the above cited link, and the free (yay!) tools, I have found resonant peak(s) and Piccolo's tutorial is quite clear on how to remove them.
 
2.  I have read in his tutorial, and elsewhere, that the best (or easiest?) way to EQ a system is to use pink noise.   Not certain on this, but I think one uses octave or 1/3 octave pink noises, and tries to eq each band so that the samples sound equally loud.
 
3.  Is it best to do that with octave or 1/3 octave?
 
4.  Other suggestions are welcome.   Thank you.
