So, trying out a 'silent' rig

I hooked up my RM4 straight into to my computer and loaded some different impulses to try it out
(KeFIR/Poulin LeCab with God's Cab impulses)

All in all, for some reason, I can't get them to sound better than just plugging into a H&K Red box,
I've actually gotten somewhat better results only using a drastic EQ mimicking a cab's frequency curve

The big problem is that while my V30 cab give's me a smooth thick tone,
any IR I load still keeps a lot of high end fizz, boomy lows and harsh mids
(it almost sounds like I've got every gain knob so wide open, "Crazy train" would look like a ballad next to it)
It's only barely acceptable compared to ramming the RM4 directly into the PC without any filters
Basicly I end up EQ-ing the living hell out of it to try to get it to sound somewhat decent

Either I'm doing something wrong, or I'm expecting too much from Impulse responses
shouldn't they sound at least somewhat better than a 10 year old Redbox without adding a lot of hassle?
