It's very unlikely that you can emulate a particular filter with 
those 14 objects.

The limitations of doing dsp filters at a limited sample rate are 
fairly profound.

...but if you're willing to spend the cash on a particular vst filter,
   or are a dsp programming expert who understands the filter maths
   then MAX could (I expect) sound close enough to any other software 
setup.

Just because it's "possible in max" doesn't necessarily mean that 
anybody would take the time/expense to accomplish it, especially if 
there's an easier way to do it.
