"Enhancers" can (and do? (nevermind..)) work in several ways... some brands
apply other techniques than others... one method (or type if you will) is
the adding of upper harmonics or other frequencies and another method is the
deviding (and shifting) of audioranges (shifting (with some sort of
cross-over) some lower freqs to higher freqs or vice versa, i.e. changing
the treshold. (*something* like this anyway :)
