It is highly unlikely that they are filtering out the high end on the stereo bus. I've heard of people low passing up above the range of hearing (20k and up), but not anwhere new 14k-16k.

hissy? That is an important frequency range (14k and up). Thats where all your presence and detail is.

Yup, cutting out those high frequencies may dull some elements. Around 15k, presence helps an element seem closer, to me at least.

Fact is if you start cutting around 15k you are losing a terrible amount of detail in your track, if it seems to make no difference in sound then your track is either utter shit and has no top end whatsoever or your listening setup sucks balls. If your analyzing tracks that seem to be cut at 16k, thats because they're internet rips, most likely YouTube... and are no basis for any sort of reference - go buy a decent copy of said tracks.
