I have tried listening/comparing in mono. It is no fun business (as it should be!). My main problem is positioning the speakers, especially with short listening distances around 2 m. When I used my living...

I'll try a lowpass filter at 15 kHz (6dB/oct? more?) to simulate my ears in 20-30 years. Lmao²
