RE: Ideal frequency response curve

"The reason why a rolled off response sounds best is that recordings are made to sound good in the mastering studio on the mastering studio's speakers. Most of these have high frequency roll-off. Therefore a recording played back on an audiophile system with flat response will sound brighter than the way the mastering engineer heard it, that is to say it will be too bright (assuming the mastering engineer did a good job making the recording)."

Tony, you seem to be a bright guy, but you, along with others, are on the wrong track here.

The question is not about speaker FR curve, but rather about ROOMS and how we perceive the sound in them. A rolled off upper frequency curve is preferable - FOR THE ROOM SOUND - which is what the OP asked about.
