I still find it impossible to understand how you choose what curves to implement. Like you say, you can create any recipe you want, and likely a plethora of those recipes can look good "on paper". And you can only conduct a finite number of listen tests. Feedback from the listen tests isn't high resolution enough to allow the designer to hone in on the particular characteristics of a set of curves that ought to be preserved.

This is such a different challenge from any product design I've ever worked on. Numbers have always told me the whole story. I've never had to rely on subjective feedback.
