Yes, but how "gross" it would have to be before it was actually detectible when listening to music is still a question. For example, Axiom itself ran a distortion study a couple years ago which indicated distortion varying from about 2% at 10KHz to 100% at 20Hz before it became audible. The follow-up study mentioned there apparently hasn't been done yet.
