hehe!

I bumped my speakers up a bit and could get 16khz all the way down to -75DB so im glad im not deaf yet. I will try on headphones too to see if that can be bettered lol. Also I thought it should be harder to hear the highs not the lows, but i was having more problems with the lows :S FWIW Im 22, played 20-25 live gigs at ridiculous volume so far (with no ear plugs as i never seem to get the same buzz <_>) and have had my 5150 on 10 Post gain in my room once or twice lol...

I think the 5150 doesn't get any louder once past 6 on post gain, it just sounds more compressed then...

Don't worry Kev, there's about 6 billion people in the same boat as you - I hear they have a support group organized

I don't think my speakers can recreate 30Hz all that well, all I got was two short clicks when the tone started and finished. I could hear 16 kHz at -45dB with my speakers at "normal" listening volume.

Of course he can't (he's just too old ), which would be a relieve for many

 

[Fabbio]

I hear 16 kHz but only at -16 db.

Is it bad?

at this point i don't think it matters. Even if you can't hear 16khz, your records still sound really better than most. So who needs 16khz? hi end is over rated, low end is where it's at.

Im 24 and been the monitor/FOH-idiot for over 750 gigs and had very similiar except because of the more-than-shitty headphones I had available atm of the test made me bring up the 16khz column ~7-8 levels
