The biggest factor in how a particular sound is perceived, is governed by the experience of "irritation" or "annoyance". Less irritation is why tubes and vinyl are so popular. Our music enjoyment "mood" is ruined by irritating aspects of the sound. I would be willing to bet that a "flat" 20hz to 20khz reproduction is more irritating than a non linear reproduction (all things being equal). Thats why I'm very hesitant to surrender my frequencies to some sort of equalization, be it digital or otherwise. I know what sounds good. I will let you know - not the other way around.
