Well, I think we are missing some perspective on the 20khz spike.  While the LCD3 is not the airiest, it is more so than the LCD2r.1 I think.  So it could be a deliberate attempt to increase air in an inherently closed sounding environment.  I might not be so quick to assume it's not supposed to be there.

You could always do a sinewave sweep and hear for yourself if you could hear that spike.

I know with the HE-400s, even though it has a huge upper-treble peak peaking around 14kHz with purrin's measurements, my ears tell me that there is a peak at 8kHz, and then another lesser peak at 12kHz, then a gradual roll-off, with sinewave sweeps and my ears.

There's too much variance in hearing sensitivity between individuals in the upper treble frequencies to really trust FR measurements there.

Past 12-13k, most human beings can't really make out much other than "air". Just not enough inner ear hair cell density.
