I calibrated, but to an extent - particularly with music - I agree with you. Case in point, I was thoroughly enjoying the DVD-A of "Fragile" last night, sounded perfect. Then I put in "Chicago II" and the sub was out of control, unlistenably boomy and with a cutoff freq. way too high. Bad engineering of the mix? Possibly. But regardless, to listen to the album, I need to tweak. Same applies, to a lesser extent, to certain other albums.
