The notion of spectral balance is a good one. The research goes back a long way - Snow I think had the best papers, from the twenties maybe? Anyhow, his experiments showed loss of perceived quality as the spectrum was limited at the high and low end. Later sources - which I have not been able to trace - advocated an equal loss at each end to preserve balance I can't say I've seen actual data to support this but it makes sense to me and agrees with my experience. Treble is much cheaper than bass - and mass-market speakers sound screechy to me!
Sorry for the sidetrack - it should really be another thread but I'm lazy :^)
