Oh yeah sorry I got my terms muddled up yes it's Graphic EQ not PEQ. It's annoying as I could do with a lot more bands. And any suggestions much appreciated so thanks very much
Ok, I had a look at this in REW today to create an Anechoic Fixed Band Graphic EQ, and I've tested it out on my speakers and I think it's pretty good, I think it will for sure cure the "shoutiness" aspect you mentioned.
Find the following graphs showing the effect of the Graphic EQ on the Listening Window as well as on the On-Axis response:

So as you can see Filter #1 in the pics is exactly equivalent to you flipping the HF Trim Switch that is on the back of the speaker to (minus) -2dB, so you'll want to flip that to (minus) -2dB, following is pic showing HF Trim Switch (it's not in the correct position in this pic, but at least you can see the switch I'm talking about):
And then really the only filters you need to activate are the following:
1000Hz -1dB
2000Hz -1.5dB
for the 16000Hz filter probably keep that deactivated, but you can try setting that to -2.2dB to see how you like it, I recommend leaving it deactivated.
Yes, so I've listened to these settings, pretty good, I think you'll like it and it should at least fix the "shoutiness".
EDIT: see the annotated note I make about the 2000Hz filter in the pics for further tweaking during your experimentation.
