Oh, well...

Look at the bright side. Now you can go buy a pair of Bose speakers with a good sub and they will sound the same to you as the guy who wasted his money buying a set of $20K speakers.

That was my silverlining until Swerd came in a schooled me.

I bet you're just waiting for me to say something off color.

Give me your best shot, 'cause I know that wasn't it at the last tournament.

Not everybody gets the same set of boundaries applied to them. It would have been a different matter all together if you had said that Doug had schooled you ... the way Rick had schooled him ... the way that Father Flanagan had schooled Rick (with a right cross IIRC).

That Interactive Frequency Chart that Gonad posted has the Fletcher-Munson curve posted on it which needs to be considered when audibility of a 15 KHz tone is being tested at low volumes.

Unfortunately for me my hearing takes a hit right where it's suppose to be most sensitive around 4 KHz. The Harmon How to Listen Software demonstrated that I am able to discern various EQ applications so I feel okay with trusting my hearing to a certain degree.

You might have missed the release of that software. I thought you might like it.

When I looked at that last night, it seemed that 15kHz should be easier to hear than something slightly lower, like 12kHz.

Are you typing that in case Cheryl is reading this to back up your story? "But, honey, really...I just couldn't hear you."

The Harmon How to Listen Software...You might have missed the release of that software. I thought you might like it.

Thanks! You're right - I hadn't seen that. I appreciate it!

You're right! You're going deaf! Congratulations!

Room modes at higher frequencies are easily observed by leaning forward to leaning back but the lower you go the more you have to move around the room to find the peaks and nulls. Don't bother getting up to try that though. It's a lot of work.

As men get older it seems that all they can hear real well is the sound of their wives screaming.

You mean they never get past that stage.
