[QUOTE="POLKAT, post: 2751897, member: 568412"] Uh oh it's magic...[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bsflag.gif.21f42eccd34b7d1eb1608fb1b59b69c3.gif[/IMG] Anything that you hear is measurable. Sorry, but it looks like they have gotten you with the marketing gimmick hook line and sinker. (Bose anyone?) A loudness button does not make it "still sound the same, just louder". Thats what a volume control is. A loudness button boosts the frequencies that our ears are not as sensitive to hearing at low volume levels, mainly below 1khz and above 5khz.
