Answer 1

The bass and treble controls only affect the low and high parts of the frequency spectrum respectively.

So by boosting bass and treble you leave a “gap” in the middle frequencies. With bass on 10 and treble on 9 both the lows and highs will be louder compared to the midrange, than what you would have with bass 9 and treble 8.
