Where does fatique come from?

I've heard systems in the past (also owned them ) that would fatique your ears after a certain amount of time. Always thought this was the speakers fault. Is this right? or a combination of Speakers, Receivers, Cd players, Etc. How much do you have to spend to get over the fatique factor, or is just personal to each person?

My experience is from the tweeters. I recently did a crossover rebuild to a vintage pair of speaker and used a high quality capacitor and resistors (Duelund). Also upgraded to a soft dome tweeter replacement and the fatigue were gone.

I can listen at normal levels for hours with pleasure.

Might explain why magnepans are easy on the ears-very clean and clear highs?
