" I just thought it odd, that in a subset of the HiFi (Fidelity/Truth) hobby, that people are actually striving for a F.R. plot that looks as if somebody was undergoing electro-shock therapy, when they plotted it."
If what I am correct about what you are referring to this is the result of lots of research that has been going on for some years regarding the different transfer characteristics to the ear of sound from a distant loudspeaker compared to a headphone or IEM placed directly on the pinnae or in the ear canal. In brief a headphone frequency response that measures flat just sounds incorrect and not at all " flat" to the majority of people. So the ideal frequency response looks like a plan for a roller coaster. The research ( primarily by Harman) continues to refine the ideal curve as knowledge grows.
