It seems to me that in recent years there is a trend to roll off the highest frequencies in some speakers for some reason.
It was most notable for me with a pair of Wharfedale Lintons I've recently owned; They sounded OK, but a 5db~ boost in the 12-16Khz region really brought them to life.
This is also backed up by the Linton's measurements. I've had similar experiences with newer models of Dynaudio among others, making me think that there is some pattern to this. Anyone knows what might be the reason? (Just guessing- something to do with directivity/off axis response?)
