Let's look at two other things; AM/FM radio, and a singers understanding of microphone dynamics.
AM (amplitude modulation): AM is a poor conduit for high frequencies. In the early days, if a recording engineer thought he had a chart topping hit, he would tip up the high frequencies. Fleetwood Mac Rumors is a prime example. Sounds fabulous with car tweeters, not so with hard dome ones.
FM (frequency modulation): FM is much better with high frequencies. By the 70's/80's most cars had FM, so you didn't need to tip anything. Radiohead OK Computer is my conundrum. Fabulous in the car, horrid on my stereo.
Singers: When a vocalist is about to hit a power note, they must move their mouth away from the microphone. You've all seen it, and heard it. If they don't, they overload the mic.
Such is the life of an audiophile.
