I would be curious to know the source of that ASR graph on sound qualities vs. frequencies. Certainly there are some truths to it, common knowledge (like the general range of human hearing), but some subjectivity on how something like upper/lower midrange is defined. Still, an interesting graph and from my experience, using the frequency response graphs and relating it to my sound preference, i know i am not a fan of big bass humps, have heard what a small bass suckout sounds like, and know that i like neutral speakers but with a small hump (or minimal rise defined as no more than around +2-3dB relative to lower frequencies) in that upper midrange-ish area which sounds more clear, detailed to me.
There is so much data out there on the topic, i'm sure there's more in publications along these lines. I try to defer away from people's blog sites unless they are known experts in the field (such as Sean Olive, Floyd Toole who have more publications than many over many years).
An interesting topic though Hamb.
Lots of searching went into this one!
