i'll agree with ian that for manufacturers DBTing is a good tool for voicing and quality control. however i would say that when purchasing kit you should decide which you prefer using the normal conditions you listen to something under. looking at it this way DBTing when purchasing kit is actually a bad thing as you are ignoring these 'supposed' psycho-accoustic effects which will undoubtedly effect you when you are sitting listening to music in full view of your kit. hey everybody's right.... nicely.
