I do suspect that if you need a more laid back feeling, like being in the way back rows of a concert gig, that you either purchase an equalizer with your array, or that you stay away from Line arrays, which by their nature tend to put you front and center with the music, either because of the wide sound stage, or because of the extreme detail in the music.
Another work around is to use Jim Griffin's sound tapering, which will reduce the blooming felling that you may find irritating, unless its really a frequency area bloom.
