[QUOTE="AlleyCat, post: 1138822, member: 2194"] What has to be also recognised is the role played by the listener to this whole equation, all things considered : Your listening/hearing preferences might not be accurate, realistic, natural, etc when one compares that three criteria against the manufacturer’s spec/intent; the musicians and instruments actual tone , timbre, etc; that the recording reflects that, and then we get to the listening environment that is flawed, plus we superimpose that flavour and/or ‘tone controls’ into that mix, where do we end up? Many of us come to accept our ‘bad listening environments’ for whatever justified reasons, we’ve come to live with it and continue to think that what we hear is accurate, realistic, natural (if we just focus on these for the moment), yet we could be so far removed from what each of these players in the chain intended. Tone controls to me are like speaker cables : tone controls. It should make one question whether something is actually fundamentally not right and/or wrong? [/QUOTE]
