In reply to:
it's quite possible that certain degree of hearing loss can occur when exposed to loud music for extended period of time, hopefully that's not the case though.
Huh? What? (someone HAD to say it)
I've always worn hearing protection. Glad they make flesh coloured ear plugs now, can protect the ol' tympanic membranes and not look like a dork.

Flesh colored plugs mean you're not comfortable looking like a dork, so you're trying to hide it. That's 10 times worse than just wearking the orange plugs.

At work I wear yellow or orange - currently orange - the only colour they had at Marks Work Wearhouse last time I was there... they're the cylinder shaped ones, too... no taper on the end. They're a bit too... annenuative (?) for working, I wouldn't buy them again, but really good for playing with power tools at home.
When I'm out for fun, I wear the flesh toned ones... as is, I stick out like a grampa-core at the shows I go to.

What about swapping the speakers left-to-right? Maybe one speaker is no longer a match for the other. On my pre-Axioms, the speaker closer to the window got just enough Sun over the years (minutes per day) to start driver rot while the other was OK.

I wish that I would have worn plugs over my years of concert going. One Husker Du/Replacements double bill left me with permanent tinnitus in one ear. Young and stupid comes to mind.

Check your speaker cable connections for oxidation. If that's not it, try replacing the pre-out/main-in jumpers with some spare interconnects and see if it sounds better. I know the latter suggestion seems odd, but 15 years ago it resolved a similar problem I had with a Denon DRA-75.

Sue Bob Mould... maybe the lawsuit would force him to do more projects (Sugar reunion anyone?), and there would be CDs worth buying again.

Man, that would be fantastic! "If I can't change your mind" is a great song.

Bob lays pretty low these days. I saw him do an outdoor acoustic set this summer. He's an amazingly talented artist. Greg Norton is now a restaurant owner south of the Twin Cities. We visited the place and after a couple of after dinner libations I told him about my hearing loss and got a free beer for my story. The days of Husker Du playing 1st Avenue and other clubs around here were some fine times.
