Then walk around the room and be enlightened......

Why would that necessarily happen?


Quite a few audiophiles are over 50. Consider you've lost some or all of
the ability to hear 10 kHz either due to age or premature hearing loss,(when
did you last take a recognised hearing test??) So what do you do? You turn
the gain up high..the tweeters are happily pumping out high levels of HF
with the 'listener' oblivious of the level.
