[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 65307, member: 1447"] well as you age you will most likely suffer from the effects of presbycusis and you will definitely begin to lose your ability to hear higher frequencies but even if your hearing above 12khz deteriorates at an alarming rate this means you may miss out on certain subtle details in music but the fact of the matter is that most musical energy is concentrated in the midrange frequencies anyway so you will still hear large proportions of the music the problem starts when your ears deteriorate at different rates for example my left ear is stronger than my right ear - so whenever i position a set of speakers it would invariably sound right side dominant for other people because i would want the right side louder so i could possibly be setting the right side slightly more on axis when toeing in the speakers for example - so my typical settings may not work for someone else - so this leads to another question ...... which is would you set your sound according to your hearing deficiencies or set it up for the typical listener to hear my reply to that is obviously that ive splashed the cash for the equipment so im setting for me and the rest can like it or lump it - but that will invariably lead to others eventually wanting to say that my setup sounds like gash ..... oh well since you cant please everyone you may as well worry about pleasing yourself [/QUOTE]
