So many of us are over 50. And I’m guessing that a plurality of us are male. So what about hearing loss. How has that affected equipment choice? Bettter gear because you need it, or you can relax because you can’t hear the high-end differences?"
Good question. I can relax now. I doubt that I can hear over 14-16 khz, if that. I find that horns are much more "acceptable" to me for mids to highs than they used to be. Spendors, Magneplaners, Acoustats, Vandersteens will always still have a warm place in my heart, however.
