    mako asked about early experiments that showed high frequencies
did matter.  The classic example is the Olson experiments during the
'30s (I think).  The big hoopla of that day was whether or not high
frequencies caused listener fatigue, and generally unrealistic sound.
Olson had a live group perform on stage and moved cloth battans around
to cut off high frequency sounds from the listeners.  He found that high
frequency sound wasn't the cluprit, but high frequency distortion was.
(I believe he had something to do with The Labs, anyone who haunts
building 15 at Murry Hill care to comment?)

    But in those days, high frequencies were, I believe, in the
8-12 kHz range.
