In Reply to: RE: Are speakers that go to 20k Hz really needed? posted by DRam on October 19, 2014 at 19:44:52
They rattle things, they overload my room and my wife keeps saying turn those things down. With speakers that only go down to around 35 I have none of those problems. I can play music much louder and my wife never says turn that thing down.
What I really think is important is that speakers have power and carry the tune in the lower octaves.

I think your original comments are fine. If you limit bass response, for cost or whatever other reason, if the highs aren't rolled off proportionally there's a good chance you end up with an overly bright sounding system.
Both my sets of speakers are down around 6db at 20K and both are down 3db by 40hz. In small rooms, hard floors and no drapes this sounds about perfect to me. More bass extension they would sound dark, more treble they would sound bright. I think that's how it works.
