In reality, most listeners don’t like fully neutral sound. Go back to 2 channel,days when we had bass, treble, LOUDNESS controls? I’d wager maybe 1 of 10 used flat, regardless of the setup.
Yeah, but most speakers needed all the help they could get. Ever listen to MicroAcoustics FRM-1a speakers and not lose your mind?
I found a pair of those on Craig's List and sent the link to a friend I had worked with at a stereo store- he's originally from Boston and, like many, is very opinionated- especially when it comes to sound in general, midrange specifically. When he called, the first thing I heard was "Are you trying to kill me?". I would consider Bose instead of those. The weird thing- MicroAcoustics made really nice sounding phono cartridges.
