Really a good point.
I recently had an appointment with an audiologist and they compared my hearing levels to 5 years ago. It looks like I lost some additional hearing in my high frequency levels, which is quite normal for a 70 year old.
I wonder if this might explain why I was unable to hear a difference when the retailer demonstrated a REL S3 with a pair of Vienna Acoustic towers. I still wonder if I should spend the money to add a pair of REL T/9i's? The retailer is really honest and I trust him. He told me today I might be trying to hard to hear the difference. I do think instead of hearing an increase in bass extension, I might have heard more of a 3 dimensional sound which he says is sound stage. I also think I heard the vocals sound less harsh, which is the main reason why I am thinking about adding the subs.
Be interested in everyone's opinion, as this group has exceptional knowledge. However, I must say, I do think this group does split hairs a lot of the time and I wonder if they are like most audiophiles who buy more and more expensive gear so they can pound their chest and say to their buddies, "See what I have!"
