While the 1930s era research results are likely valid today for understanding the perception of various frequencies, I've always found compensation circuits to sound unnatural.
We perceive distance as a function of level. If I'm hearing an orchestra with a bass drum in row C, it will have greater level and impact than if I'm sitting in the back. Boosting the low end to *fix* the effect of distance has the effect (to me) of selectively moving parts of the orchestra forward while the rest of the players remain in place. Huh?
If you want more bass impact, get closer, i.e. turn up the level!
