If I'm going to do this, I would be creating 2 more threads (Active Speakers with EQ, Passive Speakers with EQ) and then people will be jumping between all 4 threads, depending on what they know they need.
The benefit for everyone is that it's quite easy to pick an recommendation from any one of these threads, but they need to know ahead of time whether you want active, or active+peq, or passive, or passive+peq.
If they want to compare between lists, it becomes challenging.
For me, maintaining all 4 lists will be quite a bit of work.
Alternatively, in a single spreadsheet, it becomes much easier to maintain (for me), plus the user can jump around between active, passive, and PEQ/no-PEQ, and various price points.
In addition, I can begin to add much more metrics, like I did with my 'subwoofer comparison' spreadsheet. Things like dimensions, weight, etc.
Most bang-for-buck speaker for a certain volume? Haha.
Ahh, decisions, decisions.
