I am 70 now, spent 8 years in the service, qualified as expert in many arms, incl M60 machine gun, 1911A1 45 cal sidearm, M14 & M16 rifles, M79 grenade launcher. Tou get the idea, no hearing protection in the 60s. Then there were the concerts, Janis Joplin, The Doors, Allman Brothers w/Duane, Stones in many occasions.
Thus my hearing is less than stellar. Yet I can discern quality from crud, but the nuance of power chords and mega dollar cables is beyond me. Thankfully so.
Now I enjoy the Maggies mid range and nuance of jazz. I still love old Rock n Roll, but can only take it in small doses.
Long way to saying Buy what sounds good to you within your budget and care not about the lunatic fringe with agendas. Enjoy the music!!
