Good for you!
About 10 years ago I was in a listening session at an high end fair.
The seller was presenting his new loudspeaker line and how to install it in the living room in order to get the best possible response at low frequency at the preferred listening position.
The idea was to show the eigenvalues/eigenfrequencies of the listening room by moving furniture around and the speakers w.r.t. the wall in 5 cm steps.
What a surprise when the seller realized that most of the audience (the cash rich customers) did not hear low level frequencies below 40 Hz at all!
At the time I was one of the very few that was responsive to the blind test down to 20 Hz (now I am no longer shure).
When he used test tones above 10 Khz most people was not responsive to the blind test.
We tube lovers are seasoned boomers still fond of a forgotten technology that will end with us.
And because we are old our hearing is constantly impaired by time.
We can dream of still listening below 40 Hz and above 10 Khz but this is not generally true.
When you realize that you are old then you appreciate that good enough is good enough and you only enjoy music.
Omnes feriunt, ultima necat.
