The underlying topic of such questions is: How capable are psycho-acoustical engineered* devices nowadays? When I succeed to design a device to sound exactly like a pro-setup, do I still need the latter?
I think that is a increasingly interesting philosophical question transferable to more and more topics.
- smichel17 5y agoMy experience has been that such tricks don't hold up. For example, smaller speakers that EQ their way into seeming like they have more bass by boosting harmonic frequencies -- they sound nice on first listen, but handle low volume poorly and, after prolonged listening, give me a headache. And nothing lets you feel the bass like big speakers moving air. But this is mostly music, not movies. There, I find the quality of the script and acting far more immersive than fancy audio tricks, so I'm probably not the target audience.
