Re: Can BFD be used on recording studio monitors?

The reason I was looking to switch was because I can't dial in the specific frequencies I need to tame.
Well exactly. That's why a GEQ is not suitable. You need a parametric equalizer like the FBQ. It allows full control of all parameters - gain, frequency and bandwidth.

when it comes to 'crosstalk' and 'noise' generated from the FBQ
If we trust the specs given for the FBQ and the BFD, the FBQ would be considered quite reasonable for a small studio and the BFD would not. The noise floor will not be objectionable and the crosstalk would be insignificant with an FBQ.

Also what is your opinion on boosting a dip in the 70-80hz range?
I'm not a fan of boosting, but a small amount is fine as long as the dip appears to respond. There are dips that are caused by modal resonance in a room that you could throw as much gain as you like at and they won't budge. It's easy with REW to test and tweak and find out.....
