A full range speaker?


Many claim to be, but how many can handle a full orchestra’s range?

That range is from 26hz to around 12khz including harmonics, but the speakers that can go that low are few and far between. That is a shame, since the grand piano, one of the center points of many orchestral and symphonic performances, needs that lower range to produce a low A fully, however little that key is used.

I used to think it was 32hz, which would handle a Hammond B-3’s full keyboard, so cover most of the musical instruments range, but since having subs have realized how much I am missing without those going down to 25hz with no db’s down.

What would you set as the lower limit of music reproduction for a speaker to be called full range?

 I’m asking you to consider that point where that measurement is -0db’s, which is always different from published spec's.

Anything under 28 Hz is just vibration grand piano lowest  keys most is 28 Hz  ,money best spent on a speaker that will be clean to around 30 Hz ,there is very little recorded information 1-2% at most  below 30 Hz.
Just buy a pair of Svs SB 3000 subs or
the Svs 3000 mini subs  they are loaded with DSP technologies 
and agreat app for integrating Bass and adjustments on the fly 
this way you Can concentrate on the much more critical mid range 
on ,and have free shipping and a 45day audition. And refund 
policy Nothing to loose and excellent sounding tuneful Bass.
