Impulse response is sort of overkill here. If you design a filter bank in the first place, you can just implement that filter bank much cheaper than doing even an FFT-based convolution. Convolution is useful when you don't know the underlying filter transfer function.

I'm not sure I understand. How would you apply your FIR filter? Are you suggesting there is a different way than to either do convolution in the time domain or a multiplication in the frequency domain?

REW can generate a set of peaking/shelf equalizer filters, but why would I want to do that instead of just applying the inverse impulse response instead? It's just more work for a less perfect solution/result...
