[QUOTE="AlleyCat, post: 1138824, member: 2194"] Further to above, an example to ponder on : In Stereophile, a while a bassist responded in the mag to mention made of how bad his bass was recorded on an album. He made everyone aware that on the day he told the engineer exactly that and yet the engineer ignored him anyway. Now you have this piece of music in your listening room and tone controls come into play. What’s being achieved here? Again let’s just focus on that three criteria in the above example. Then add in your skewed listening environment. Also add in your physical/physiological/emotional, etc state (of mind), etc, etc. How far removed from the instrument (voice/instrument), the recording, the speaker manufacturer, etc, have we actually removed away from. The bass was recorded bad in the first place, its on record as such, the speaker should let you hear that. The same with a out of tune piano, you should hear that. How would a tone control help with that? Speaker manufacturers mainly build for accuracy and transparency, among many other things….., then that is what you should ultimately hear? [/QUOTE]
