OTOH, take away the noise and most audiophiles will find the presentation “lifeless”, which just about puts my kvetching into perspective, I think.

Well, I once tried s/thing similar at a gathering of audiophiles. I wanted to try and understand what kind of sound reproduction would be found "correct, magical, good, etc". So I assumed that s/thing that sounds very clear and staccato, without too many perceptible harmonics, upper bass/mid-bass... may be the ticket.

I used an inexpensive dsp that was there and used music of the girl w/ banjo variety and some percussion. Can't remember the exact FR play --- but generally speaking: kept ~100-2,5kHz as is, lowered 3kHz, lifted ~5-8kHz and ~70-80Hz, and lifted ~15kHz (noise, mostly).

I had excellent response from the auditorium.
