Have you tried matching a stereo to your hearing?


Have you ever had a hearing test done to determine your actual hearing curve? It is my understanding that the average human hearing range is essentially an arc that tails off at high and low frequencies, but isn't necessarily a smooth line. It might be possible to tune a system to compensate for dips or peaks in ones personal hearing. It might sound terrible to everyone else, but perfect for you.

Has anyone ever tried or thought about this concept? I wonder how similar the hearing curve is for people that commonly enjoy a particular system above all else.

Mceljo - Speaker might have perfect frequency characteristic measured with individual tones but horrible sound (phase shifts, wrong harmonics summing).
Elizabeth - recording deficiencies are usually more complex than Treble & Bass. Tone controls can do more harm than good.
