...This tonal characteristic is consistent with most so-called audio improvements in our resolution-obsessed age. It typically takes the form of a rising top end for a more etched, articulated, analyzed, and detailed presentation that is almost always slightly to considerably wrong when it comes to the correct reproduction of voices and acoustical instruments. But it must appeal to thousands, if not tens of thousands of listeners because so many contemporary speakers exhibit it, despite the fact that almost no venue where music is actually performed exhibits it. On the contrary, the response in your typical concert or recital hall drops quite precipitously above 4kHz, and sometimes the drop begins as low as half that frequency (see Robert E.
