Lossy vs. lossless compression.

Now I'll ask the same question that I ask my co-worker in AV who won $10 mil in the lottery - can your ears tell the difference between a $500 speaker and a $15000 speaker? And can your ears tell the difference between lossy mp3 compression and full uncompressed wav forms? and if B is yes, see A, and tell me what kind of system is required to actually hear a difference, esp. if you are playing it thru iPod headbuds...

My answers? I've shot too many shotguns, AKs, AR15s, FALs, etc. with no hearing protection over the years... no ringing, etc. but I'm sure not 100%...
