New nerd learning accomplished: Measuring and EQing my studio monitors using Room EQ Wizard and Equalizer APO.
I followed Julian Krause's helpful guide here:

^ This was only an experimental run tonight, as I only just ordered a calibrated measurement mic. So I used one of my DPA 4006 with the free-field grid installed, and that's a pretty damn flat mic.
I'm already hearing the mid-bass tubbiness of these old KRK monitors being controlled nicely with this corrected house curve applied, and this is with a completely non-calibrated mic. But the same 4006 capsule is used for pro measurement mics, so I figured the results would at least be informative.

Way to go! It is well worth the effort!

I'm looking into replacing these monitors soon anyway, with these:

I'll definitely do the correction with these as well.
Long-term, I want to build some DIY acoustic panels to treat my studio.
Note to anyone trying this that the recent versions of REQ look a bit different that what is shown in Julian's video (and in the official help file. For example, there is no longer an option to apply a House Curve in Preferences. That's been moved to the EQ curve generation settings under Target Settings.
Here's my correction curve if anyone is interested.
