Yeah I thought my take was reasonable lol. Yes, oratory most likely tweaks some stuff, such as making sure the algorithm doesn't try to compensate for the dip at 10khz, not going overboard with weird treble peaks, or trying to correct resonances. Again, correct me if am wrong, but I am pretty sure Oratory's EQ is generated by some algorithm that tries its best to match 2018 Harman, with his own tweaks. However, I have never seen anyone with an HD650 who boosted the subbass by nearly 10 decibel and thought, yeah this sounds appropriate and not distorted. My bad I guess.
