We all want our systems to be outstanding. That said, I am pretty sure we don't want different frequency regions standing out from others.
One of the most difficult and telling challenges of system setup is achieving a smooth tonal balance where nothing stands out.
Too often the room or the speakers don't produce an even response: perhaps a boom in the midbass or a brightness to the upper regions stand out from everything else.
When it comes to tonal balance, we don't want stand outs—just an outstandingly smooth and even presentation from top to bottom.
