RE: Correcting for the drop in bass or highs at low level is ONLY and issue

Well, in that case you are talking about power response vs. on-axis response in a room. A truly flat measuring speaker will sound bright if the dispersion is even and wide and you have reflective surfaces. In a large room or with a speaker that has quick rolloff in off-axis measurements, it is less likely to sound bright.

If you are listening to a recording at lower than natural volume levels then to get a "live" feeling there would need to be boost because of your changing perception and the fact that it is not at the natural level for that given performance (really only applicable with uncompressed acoustic music). Enter the loudness button, however, the bigger problem is how stereos handle low level signals and as you lower the volume then subtle sounds will simply drop out because the system cannot generate such small responses.
