In our line of work, we get asked about flat audio responses all the time: What is flat audio response? Is flat response good? Why is flat good? We also run into: When I hear a system that has a supposedly flat response, I think it sounds stale, or the more general comment, I dont like the way flat sounds! We get these questions and comments all the time. http://www.centerpointaudio.com/HowToUnderstandFlatFrequencyResponseGraph.aspx
