Basically, I’m semi-deaf, constant ringing in the ears, so pretty much anything and everything I use would be considered mid-range, but I want to get into the more technical side of audiophile equipment, but I have zero clue how, or what brands are considered a safe bet for a noob.

    You don’t have to have perfect hearing to learn how to listen humans can hear a maximum between 20hz and 20khz

    That being said the frequency 8khz sounds like bacon sizzling by the time you get to 13kz it sorta starts to hurt or feel uncomfortable 15khz I just now had to point speaker in my phone at my head to hear it over the sound of my TV 17 i can just barely hear but it makes me wildly uncomfortable…

    There’s just not alot of musical information up in those higher ranges… mostly “airyness”. Hi fi systems are so incredibly better than consumer grade stuff. You would have to have serious hearing damage to not be floored by nice monitors.

    💰 money talks when it comes to hi fi gear… just make sure to try before you buy… I have adam ax7s at home and it one of the best investments I ever made… the successor to the adam ax7s have a built in reference mic that calculates your room dimensions and adjusts the speakers to automatically account for phase correlation, standing waves and first reflections. Great place to start… if you don’t have much cash the presonis eris 3.5s system is really great for close monitoring.

    I would steer clear of rokits. Try before you buy !
