Re: I'm just not sure about one thing

The old Kef 104 was pretty flat in the listening window but with the 8" woofer crossed over to a 3/4 tweeter at 3 kHz the off axis response suffered between about 1000 and 2500 Hz, which would affect the total power response. You can't really fix that with an equalizer, though it can help things to a degree, as it won't improve the dispersion. It was quite a good speaker in the right set up, but not really room friendly. Compared with the Quad ESL-63, it really didn't sound bad at all, but not as detailed.

The ear is less sensitive to both low frequencies and high frequencies. This has nothing to do with the deficiencies of stereo systems. It's easy to look up on the net.
