...nothing turns me off more than a poor treble presentation. I could stand the absence of low bass and could even tolerate a recessed or somewhat colored midrange. But if the treble is screechy or dull, I notice it immediately and I either run screaming from the room or lose interest within seconds.

Follow Ups:
As I posted elsewhere, if the treble isn't right, nothing else works, it doesn't even seem to matter. And while a speaker may produce deep bass you can feel like a pipe organ pedal note, without accurate treble, it still won't sound like a pipe organ. Not when the organist hits other notes. I've experimented and struggled with this problem for a very long time especially the way recordings of violins are reproduced. A lot of people who post here seem very glib about it mostly repeating what they've read by others who haven't really experimented with it either. Perhaps the proof that the problem is so important is the fact that there are more types of tweeters than all other types of loudspeaker drivers combined.
