I think you nailed a great example.
Acoustics /Psychoacoustics is facinating
Tucking the early fundamental of vocals pulls the gain at you, it’s like “stealing focus”
People call it a dry or thinner replay but everyone has a way of describing the phenom.
Interestingly, The Elysian DIVA pushes back on that with even more sub bass making for a low subtle hum/drone like being next to an amp that is live and patched in but not playing back anything. Adds a warmth.
I bought the DIVA full price because of that 1st experience being so unique I thought I was having a overly sweet memory of the set.
Nope.
It does counter that dry tuck.
I’m not as antiHarman as I once was but the pigeon holing of what is proper tuning is making some sets get bypassed because they don’t adhere to a variation of that target.
