Lede too short[edit]

There was a 2015 tag that the lede was too short. I filled the lede out and removed the tag.

Critical Experiment[edit]

After WWII, engineers argued about whether listeners really wanted "high fidelity" (wideband) sound reproduction. Initial experimentation showed that they preferred narrowband reproduction. Olson performed a classic experiment that proved otherwise, earning him the title of "the man who saved high fidelity". This article needs to discuss it.
