So, I have a 2.1 system that sounds pretty ok, but yesterday I was running a test (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AC-ExFnAgXo&pp=ygUMc3BlYWtlciB0ZXN0) that revealed that I have some wild volume differences between certain frequencies all over the spectrum. I then listened to the same thing over my headphones (Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro) and there all frequencies had pretty much the same volume.

Is this normal or should I aim for equal volume over all frequencies for my stereo? If so, what's the best way of attack? Room treatment?

Well the human ear hears different frequencies with different sensitivities, so make sure you and your tests are taking that into account. Otherwise, go with what sounds best to you and you alone. I used to preach the gospel of neutrality, but now I'm on team warmth all day long

I too enjoy warmth, and yet I somehow keep ending up with bright components.
