Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz

Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...

What are the sexiest components ever made?
These are good suggestive suggestions, but have you ever shared two great headphones with a lover and listened together to Miles Davis' "Sketches of Spain"?...it turns the whole world sexy. Admit it, you've done it too...
