I'll give you an analogy. You have two glasses of the same height. Glass A represents a flat mix made on flat speakers. Glass B is wider than Glass A and represents a boosted mix on boosted speakers. Now, try to put the water from Glass B into Glass A and tell me what happens.
You can apply this analogy to speakers, too...meaning when you pour the liquid of Glass A into Glass B, you'll still have space to boost it (if you want to make a nice boost cocktail, or something). I hope that clarifies my point.

At least that's the OP's main concern as I understand it. |
