Thanks Earl,

When Voice of the Theater mentioned rising response, It threw me off a bit. I typically think of "Response" as measured acoustic output. In engineering speak however, you can relate the word response to many other aspects of a circuit.

Your last couple of graphs are a perfect explanation of what I understand

As you can see, I am neither an engineer or a lawyer. Apparently, I prefer to keep things simple and leave the heavy lifting to people who can make sense of an oscilloscope.
Best Regards,
