[Rwp] EQ, frequencies, spectrum analizers?

[Chris Smart]

then you might need to acoustically treat your room, invest in better 
monitors etc. But I definitely hear what you're saying. I'm almost 40 
and anything above 15K is more difficult to hear for me now.

As for sub-sonic, you can often feel the cones of your drivers moving 
even if you can't hear that stuff.
