Magnepan Ribbons and Hearing Loss


Due to old age, my upper hearing is limited to only about 12-13 kHz, and of course the ribbon tweeters are capable of frequencies well beyond the human limit.

For me, are the 3.6 ribbons overkill? Or even a waste, like having a Ferrari and never driving over 45 mph?

Your thoughts?

Just remember that when you listen to live music, you are listening thru these same ears.  You should be looking to reproduce what you hear live, properly recorded. Ears for live and ears for hi fi are the same, so it should not be an issue.
