Tone controls are and always have been personal preference. I knew people who were extremely proud of the huge a$$ equalizers with a billion controls and they would spend their time fiddling with the sliders....
To each his own.... I never liked what these controls did to the sound and have always enjoyed the "flat" sound much more. Therefore tone controls have never been my cup of tea. If a unit had tone controls and had a by pass switch it was always engaged for me. The equipment that I have almost always most enjoyed rarely had tone controls.
But again, to each his own. There is no right or wrong here.
