I prefer the Harman/JBL house curve to tune with and then tweak a few areas here and there afterwards. To me that sounds good and is fun to listen to, but I've noticed some recordings ( especially some 90's Rock albums) still sound overly bright/hot and can be fatiguing. Metallica (Black album) to me sounds bright and way too forward in treble and some claim they think this was one of the best sounding hard rock/metal albums ever. Here is a Faith No More track "Midlife Crisis" that has some decent mixing and gets some things right but still to my ears even with a Harman curve still is a bit too hot and forward.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X9vKNnSI1Jc&pp=ygURTWlkbGlmZSBjcmlzaXMgSFE%3D
This brightness seems to be common with 90s rock albums. Was this to make up for stereo equipment in that era having limited upper extension?
