Hi Fuzzy,
Rin Choi and MLudovic on HF have done great work around the ED-1 diffuse field equalization developed by Stax and IRT in the 80s. Rin Choi on his blog has analyzed the ED-1 thoroughly and MLudovic has obtained the parameters for DF EQ so that you may reproduce it in software.

Stax's policy remains not in favour of EQ.

Stax abandomed the expensive and potentially sound degenerating EQs in favor of making a df equalized headphone, the Omega. IMHO a equalized Lamda Pro is still better then the Omega listening to binaural recordings. Obviously there is a market for the Lamda style phones so those stayed in the line up. This is only an observation but the sound signature of the Omega is obvious in its intent.
