They're a fine crutch for bad recordings and some listening environment
problems.

A tilt control makes rock music recordings by tone-deaf engineers listenable
on the neutral speakers you bought so that good recordings shine.

Loudness contours following the Fletcher-Munson curves restore a decent 
tonal balance when you're forced to listen at lower levels.

A Linkwitz Transform will let you have the poles and Q you want.

A shelving high pass filter can cut frequencies below a ported enclosures
tune that could bottom the woofer(s), or eliminate the boom from room gain.

Notch filters can eliminate peaks.
