However, at higher volumes at least the mids seemed to finally shine through and I got used to it. It sounds pretty good to me except at low volumes, it seems like there is a "loudness" setting that is permanently switched on and it doesn't need it.
Funny you mention the apparent loudness curve being applied... I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday.

I like the power of the HK, but the lack of linearity, detail and definition in the bass region is pretty horrendous.
