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.

The entire audible environment for Humans measure at 15Hz - 150kHz.
As pointed out - the ear drum cannot pick up those frequencies. Humans process sound utilizing more of the 30+K hair cells located within the ear which relay information to an extraordinary amount of nerve fibers within our nervous system that provide this info to the brain - which processes things like frequency, waveform, pressure rate, time and location - to what we actually hear. Everything counts, everything matters.

The only Speaker I know of that covers this range is The Lansche 8.2
15Hz - 150kHz.

a couple of other manufactures that measure in in the fuller range are
Marteen and Verity.

Where do you guys get your information from?

Even IF this were true 15hz - 150k hz. who really cares. 
Orch is 60hz-2khz. 
Thats all i listen to is classical.

Not saying I believe it... I'm interested to know where the information is published. BTW you need to consider the audible harmonics so if you rolled off at 2k it wouldn't sound so great... I'm sure you know that but thought I'd just be clear.
