The one liners were pretty good, the rapier wit, got a laugh out of Dr. Obscuro.

So, our hearing evolved to be able to resolve direction and distance (imaging)? Later, focus on mid-range to distinguish individual voices?

We don't move our speakers very often (gals probably the exception). Possibly our hearing tunes to the environment (non-nomadic), filter out what is non-threatening or non-beneficial? Maybe that is the allure of changing components. We tune into a sound or sound quality we hadn't heard before?

Or the opposite, re-enforce neural pathways of a sound quality, giving them more attention, a higher priority?

These guesses assume evolution. Maybe this is the wrong forum to make that assumption.
