The list of songs I mentioned earlier are merely quick examples of the different nuances I can hear in reproducing upper mids/treble of recordings and where I would 'scale' them. Again these to me are just examples of recordings all in their own way off from neutral in this respect. 
All are perfectly listenable and enjoyable on my system without changing the volume or wanting to adjust tone controls (never touched those BTW) and in fact I love some of these (e.g. the Angus and Julia Stone album).
The Pro upgrade improved reproduction of all recordings/productions including these. In another topic I mentioned that I find the top end production simply better. SonicLife did the exact same thing in this topic. I too found it difficult to vote to this poll but in the end both reasoned and felt that a better top-end reproduced with lower distortion equates to a more forgiving reproduction even though the Pro is actually simply more transparant and imparts less of an own character to music.
Edit: when I said it would still sound "like crap" I meant of course compared to excellent recordings. Metallica will never sound like Diana Krall (god forbid
) of course.
