Re: As a general rule, superbly built speakers are of no need of correction in higher frequencies other than overlaying a target curve which should to be taste.
Can you use a Schiit Loki to "overlay the target curve"? That is twiddle the knobs to get the best possible tasting music for you? It seems more scientific to, say, overlay a Harman curve, but does that get every individual to the best possible taste? Surely individual tastes are all different, just as there is a vast range for preferences for "curry heat" or "saltiness", etc., in food. So don't you have to end up twiddling knobs anyway, to get to your unique preferred taste? So why not just start and end by twiddling knobs and get a Schiit Loki rather than spending all this time, money, and brain power on advanced digital solutions? (OK, professional recording engineers need to do this, they need to know exactly when the curve is objectively flat or not. But I'm thinking of the average listener... why should they care if the curve's flat? Why would they want to know what the curve looks like, they just want the music to sound good...)
