Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best?

Going back to something @elizabeth pointed out:

The quality of treble is often a function of room acoustics. Try throwing pillows and blankets on the floor between and behind the speakers as an experiment. You may be awesomely surprised at how much this enhances sound, despite the first reflection mantras dominating the topic of room acoustics.

This discussion begs this question: would two different speakers with identical frequency response curves sound the same in your room? I'm betting the answer is no.

"Try throwing pillows and blankets on the floor between and behind the speakers as an experiment. "

Don't forget the fake plastic plants behind the speakers...!

Dog beds work as well!

Big, hairy Tibetan mastiffs work even better.
