I don't know about that, but you're disregarding the most important element.

Loudness.

The human ear has different frequency response characteristics for different loudness. I know you've seen and read about the Fletcher Munson Equal Loudness curves. As the loudness increases our hearing response flattens and vise-versa.

What would you have as an ideal response then? The only sensible starting point would be a flat response. From there, depending on the room, the loudness, your age, it's all a shoot and personal preference.
