Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023)

^You might not be wrong for you, but for others, missing sound beyond the limitations of FM could be lacking. Furthermore, there something to be said for the wiggle room beyond the limitations of hearing.

I think that some older speakers weren’t capable of true high end extension, which allowed the rising high end of many mc cartridges to gain in popularity. Later with more capable tweeters and the entrance of CD’s this was altered.

IMHO, the older models were rolled off, the more recent iterations more neutral.
