If I understood Fons and yourself correctly, the "parametric eq" is just 
another way of modifying the response of the big filter.

My idea is _not_ to *add* a three-band parametric, but to *replace* the 
convolution-based eq with one of the very fine ladspa plugins of parametric eq.
This should lower cpu-usage quite a lot. And if your audio signal needs a 31-
band or a free-hand-drawn equalizer, you are better off with fixing the mix or 
using freqtweak, I think.

Have fun,

Arnold
