Whether to EQ or not depends on what type of listening experience you're trying to reproduce with your speakers.If you're trying to reproduce music as you would hear it NOW, there's no need to EQ. Loss of hearing in higher frequencies applies to the real world the same way it does to speaker systems. So if you're speakers are flat, music will sound the same as you would experience it in the real world.
If you're trying to reproduce music as you would have heard it 20 years ago, then EQ would be required.
