I am well aware of this as I said "transition frequencies." Plural. That does not change the nature of the task. Tiny corrections through FIR filter or PEQ makes little to no audible difference and even when audible, a listener needs to apply judgement to them. With PEQ like solutions like GLM, it is dead simple to turn the correction filter on and off and judge the results blind or otherwise. Convolution type filters tend to be all or nothing as far as UI, and also very slow to change depending on system making such comparisons very difficult if not impossible.
As a general rule, superbly built speakers are of no need of correction in higher frequencies other than overlaying a target curve which should to be taste.
You may have forgot I developed a
convolver that switches level matched FIR filters instantly so making such comparisons is a breeze. And works with most music players, DAW's and system wide audio on Mac or Windows.

Yup, believe it or not, we are saying the same thing
Re: Tiny corrections through FIR filter or PEQ makes little to no audible difference and even when audible, a listener needs to apply judgement to them.
We will have to agree to disagree. The point in fact is PEQ can't make "enough" tiny corrections. 5 band PEQ compared to FIR filtering with typically 0.7 Hz frequency resolution is again something completely different, which is both measurable and audible.
