Unfortunately it's an indication that your loudspeakers are not cutting it. Even without any tone controls, all your music should sound great with no reason to adjust things.
Level adjusting speaker drivers
Sometimes when I listen to various things it would be nice to turn up mid and Tweeter levels, and also bass too.
The speaker gets the signal and then it's split between the drivers by the crossover's, but what about the individual levels hitting these drivers. Would it be worthwhile to have a means to increase or reduce these levels?
Anyone ever done this and what tool did you use?

A big pet peeve of mine—speakers without L-Pad control of driver levels. It is simply amazing how much a speaker can be transformed or made to work well in a tough room by tuning it with such controls. Yes, they can be incorrectly used and that will mess up the sound, and, it does take a lot of patience and practice to use controls correctly, but, I think they sre essential to getting the most out of a pair of speakers. I would take such controls over any equalizer. |
@larryi I agree! Mike |
Based on what you described, an actual equalizer, with 10 bands or more, is probably too much for your needs. If you don’t have a pre/integrated with built in tone controls already then a Schiit Loki is a middle of the road alternative:
Like any EQ though, you have to have a place in your audio chain to insert it. |
