What an imaginative and creative response! You say in effect that all those purpose-designed limited frequency response audio devices that communcations engineers have created for many decades are completely unnecessary if only one has a properly designed receiver. Please, give us some examples of such receivers which are not aided by the use of properly designed narrow response audio devices. We were discussing the KX1. Is that on your list? Do you contest the benefit of narrow response headphones here? (HINT: I have many receivers better than the KX1, still proper frequency response limited headsets help.) If you have no valid list, your assertion is gratuitous. Aside from this <null> list, most people do not design the receiver they are using, nor do they choose one designed elsewhere, with the goal of obtaining one that allows them to use entertainment quality headphones to no disadvantage, when when something of narrower response is better. Here are the facts: Regardless of receiver design, even for communication receivers of the highest quality, it is ALWAYS very helpful to use properly designed communications headsets, as opposed to expensive (or cheap) hi-fi entertainment sets. There are NO exceptions to this.
