To each their own, but IMO those settings above create a sound that is WAY over eq'd. The HK system is what it is and applying big boosts on a limited band graphic equalizer is only going to make it sound worse. Settings like those create a very peaky sound because you're over boosting (or over cutting) certain frequencies while leaving adjacent frequencies either slightly boosted or not at all.
Subtle is best, so a -1 cut at 200hz to get rid of some bass boominess, a -1 cut at 2k to take edge off snare drums, and if desired, +1 at 5 and 10k.
High quality source material is key as well.
