In the Thread: 'Fundamental rich' listening, or is RTA even close to accurate?
Post Subject: A horrible driverPosted by drdna on: 8/18/2007

Now first of all our ears were designed to hear up to 20,000 cycles there-abouts if not perhaps more, a scientific fact I can't really argue against.  So I find it difficult to accept a proposition that we don't enjoy listening to sounds from 2,000 Hz on. 

What seems much more likely is that you don't like the way that your tweeter sounds, and the more tweeter you hear, the more intolerable you find the music.  So you are rolling it off to avoid the horrible screeching. 

Could the rta be inaccurate?  Maybe.

You could try substituting other speakers or other tweeters and seeing if you still have the same reaction.

In any case, just tune your system the way you like it best.
