My point here though is a stereo sounds better when a system is approaching clipping or when reproducing less than perfect recordings if they are rolled off in the higher frequencies.
That's my point. This shouldn't be that difficult. If one listens to less than ideal recordings or pushes his system to it's limits a rolled off high frequency can be better than a flat one.
That's directly on the OP's topic and it's in direct conflict to your transient response comment.
Some will argue good recordings sound better with full range frequency response but I would counter about problems with low frequencies in normal rooms and other FR tilt/balance issues arising when attempting to circumvent LF responses without similar high frequency reductions. Not to mention that many recordings are eq'd hot.
Obviously I'm a proponent of a declining HF response. Doesn't mean you're or others are wrong - just means I'm happy as all get up and go compared to suffering via a full range frequency response.
I live in a real world but that's not a requirement for all audiophiles.
