Quite the opposite, Bree. Audiophiles, true audiophiles, don't like tone controls. In fact some very, very, hyper-expensive gear lacks tone controls completely. The best setups have so much detail that the room is not in the way, so there's no compensation needed. A car, on the other hand, is a terrible place to listen to music for lots of reasons.
(The exception to this is ancient 78s and LPs. Before the RIAA curve became the standard, each record company had their own "curve" and therefore, a corresponding tone compensation emphasis). Lama, who positions the living room speakers so they sound best without tone controls, then adds the furniture. Really. Then, I adjust the treble in the car. (sigh) Bree said, >> Having had a little Christmas cheer earlier tonight.......when I really want to feel the music and when I'm really in to it........I like mega bass. When I play Joni at home......mid-range is down,treble up. I know there are audiophiles that change/fiddle with the EQ on each individual song......not cd but song! They HEAR everything that was intended to be heard and maybe more?>>
