more adjectives to help define 'fatigue' vectors?


My apologies in advance for posting a naive question, and perhaps erroneously posting this in 'speakers' rather than 'amps' as well, but my efforts to find this answer via search are failing me...

I understand, I believe, what 'fatigue' itself means. But I don't understand in the slightest the causes/mechanisms of it in a listening situation.

I assume there must be myriad causes - but can they be grouped or categorized...and explained in something approaching layman terms?

Fatigue induced by speakers, amps, poor power, etc...do they all have something in common that I'm missing?

Or are they all completely different conditions that result in the same general 'fatigue' outcome?

Perhaps fatigued, perhaps not;

In my experiece,fatigue came from overly bright highs that I was getting from my speakers with metal domed tweeters.I struggled with this for a while until some of the members here suggested I try a speaker with soft dome tweeters.Since changing speakers I have not experienced any listener fatigue until I introduced a silver speaker cable into my system.I have since gone back to all copper wire and everything is as it should be.Again,this is just my experience,yours may be different.
