Imo both methods have their merits. Personally I am in camp number 1 for the time being.
To a point I agree but..I wasn't suggesting tuning to taste rather that a quality level in these totl JBL systems is reached beyond which 'absolute transparency' can only ever be a subjective judgement call when the DSP units are included in the equation.
