Kenwood DDX/DNX Equalizer help

I've heard people say that if you have a good audio setup, you shouldn't need to run an EQ as the speakers and setup should sound good enough to do everything necessary "on their own"?

What are your takes on this? In my personal experience, be it car stereo or home audio.. I usually find a good setup equalizer can make a positive difference, at least to my ears.

When I was a kid, my father ran the home stereo through not 1 but 2 graphic equalizers and would yell at me if I got close to the knobs with my fingers!
