Maybe that's part of the reason why I've gotten such good results adding absorption and diffusion in my listening room. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

If one has high frequency loss and can't hear high frequencies, how can they be sensitive to them in how they hear the music? Just trying to understand which was part of my original post. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

I can totally relate to that. My main system has a sweet spot established at 11 feet/equilateral triangle. I never listen loud in that room anymore. Loud volumes at that close of a distance is just annoying to me these days. However I have no problem cranking it in a secondary basement system that is a wide open area.

Yes, I have a certain level of tinnitus/ear ringing. I am a heavy equipment operator and although I wear hearing protection 100% of the time, it's my understanding that vibration is something that can't be avoided and plays a detrimental role in this regard. Add that on top of years of loud concerts etc. In my own evaluation, I feel like I hear accurately but the mild ear ringing is merely a nuisance and distraction. Before I continue on and pretend that I'm not a deaf MFer like the rest of you guys......let's forget about hearing loss for a bit and let me crank this next song. Rock on.

I used to have the original Model 30. Wish I still had it. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Congratulations on your setup. I bet it does sound incredible. I have two THTLP's in my main system as well. Is that the best bass you've ever heard or what?!!! Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

My hearing as far as music listening goes has changed considerably in the last few years. Most notably the high frequencies. I just turned 50 recently and I would think that as one gets up there in age the treble knob would go up as well. I've known older guys that have gone in that direction and that seems to make sense to me.....but I have been the opposite. Also, three years ago I put Dave A's MAHL tweeters in my speakers. Like many others have said, they are on the hot side but are very clear and smooth. With a little EQ I liked them very much.....until I couldn't handle it anymore. I put the stock tweeters back in (with titanium diaphragms) and everything seemed right. I dunno.....for years the only way I listened was balls to the wall. For the last 5-7 years or so I listen normally just below 70db. I regularly let it rip on the weekends though only for a short period of time. Anyone have similar/opposite/unusual circumstances with their hearing over time? Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Looks cool but they almost look invisible LOL. I'm a sucker for piano black. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

I feel the same about my 30's. It would be a shame to cut the nuts off of the 40hz bass those things can pound out so tight and punchy. My horn loaded subs simply fill in below that to roughly 20hz and it's seamless. I've had some SVS subs. I liked them mainly for HT. The Ultra subs I had were bad ***. They were ok for two-channel but I could never seem to fully get rid of the rumble. THT's are just flat out superior when it comes to music playback. Smooth and seriously powerful if called upon to do so. Yeah they're big but if stood upright the footprint is only 15x18. I'm talking about the THTLP. Paint the suckers flat black and stick em in a corner and that's all she wrote. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

I still crack up every time I see his name mentioned......remembering the phone conversation we had. In the backround I could hear his head slamming into the table several times while I was asking him questions about biamping with a Peach and some Behringer equipment.

I agree.....and I've been saying for years now that all speakers benefit from a sub that is properly integrated. Period. If it's not dialed in right, it's a mess and so many people trash the use of subwoofers for this reason. A decent sub properly integrated can sound good. A very good sub properly integrated can take your system to another level. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
