Headphoneus Supremus
I had to read this a few times and laughed stupidly hard.I don't think we should be pandering to people's precious preferences. In fact I think the LRAD-based frequency response target is a good idea.
Total compliance with the will of the music should be our aim. That would sort the wheat from the chaff. If a person can take a miniature LRAD point-blank to the head, then they're serious about listening to their Michael Bolton, or what have you. Of course we'd then have to mend the resulting permanent deafness with some state-of-the-art hearing aids, probably cyborg ears. But that's good. To be a post-human sound-receptacle should be the end-goal of any serious audiophile. The cyborg ears could expand the audible spectrum!
