[Dream] Calibrating monitors?

[spork]

Mine are active, but why would active monitors change the frequency
response? If they weren't active, I would need an external amplifier
anyway, so it would be pretty much the same, wouldn't it? The way I've
understood it, monitors are supposed to produce as unaltered a signal
as possible. (I have the possibility of extenuating frequencies on the
monitors, but I have all settings at zero, or 'flat')

Ah well, I suppose I'll simply have to start testing my choons
properly on hi-fi's and stuff, before posting them here.
