- Doesn't Cambridge have the print ads featuring a photo of an
- elderly-looking Henry Kloss listening carefully to some speakers?
- Your comments above about "less brilliant" sound reminded me of that
- picture. As humans get older, our ability to hear high-frequency
- sound deterioriates. The Cambridge ads imply that Henry's
- experienced ears were used to help design their speakers. Makes you
- wonder.
