[QUOTE="Rodney_gold, post: 89610, member: 579"] If you use room correction and get to a as good as you can to "flat" in your room/listening position , it really does sound a bit like doo-doo - Thin and reedy , TACT even acknowledge this and provide a function where you can overlay preference curves on top of the corrected one. Most recordings are mixed in a studio anyway , so real "live" is a rarity apart from orchestral or classical works. The ear itself does not have a flat response , it varys with SPL and it varys from person to person dependant on ear canal and ear shape and so on. Flat freq response will actually give the best transients and thus listening to a speaker like the ATC gives the music huge drive and impact - I just find mine (SCM50a's) to be extremely bass shy for my taste , albeit the bass is exceptionally tight and tuneful , but it rolls off a lot from 40hz -- in fact the freq response is 40-20k at the 6db mark and its 80-12k +-2db - so It's really not all that "flat" No one in audiophile land really wants a straight wire with gain or a "truthful" system, if they did we wouldnt find the diversity of equipment out there , we would not have a huge valve and analog fan base etc - we would all be searching for best specced stuff :) [/QUOTE]
