| Why not the piano as a reference for bass Thank you, @mahgister! Very glad to hear Seth Kaufman's music speaks to you too! | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass @mahgister , I particularly like "Repercussion". At one point about halfway through Seth stands up and leans forward and plucks the strings with his fingers. I didn’t realize that’s what was going on until I saw him perform it live. It had never... | |

| Why not the piano as a reference for bass @richardbrand wrote: "I don’t agree that the low notes on a modern grand piano (piano-forte or soft-loud) contain so little energy that they do not merit being reproduced. Bosendorfer and Stuart keep extending the keyboard downwards!" Just to be... | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass @richardbrand , my investigation into the loudness of the fundamentals and first few overtones of the lowest piano notes was based on the spectra of those notes played on a grand piano, as I figured that would be applicable to amplified electric p... | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass I was once tasked with designing a speaker system for amplifying electric piano. So I had to figure out how low in frequency the speaker system needed to go. Well it turns out that the fundamental of the 27.5 Hz low-A is down in level so much tha... | |
| Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap Eyelids? Pretty simple, pretty cheap. I keep mine on me just in case. | |
| B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics Ime acoustic problems call for acoustic solutions, and EQ is not an acoustic solution. Theoretically aggressive room treatment would help in this case. When room treatment isn’t feasible, one alternative would be speakers whose radiation pattern... | |
| Speaker set up for more than 1 person Time/intensity trading (speaker axes criss-crossing in front of the listening area) has been described and/or alluded to several times in this thread. I have been building speakers deliberately designed to be compatible with a time/intensity trad... | |
| Desperate to Get Back to Horns I don’t think anybody makes a modern woofer with parameters rivaling those of the Altec 416-8b and 416-8z, so it is rare to find an equivalent speaker today that offers a combination of efficiency and low-end extension similar to that of the Model... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @kraftwerkturbo wrote: "the next speaker design I want to try is a still small speaker but with two low/midrange drivers simply to be able to play at ’concert level’ without distortion; but still no need for very low bass. "Since still in the ... | |

| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @scotandholly, I’m pretty sure @erik_squires made his design choices with eyes wide open, and I respect them. If you want to persuade him to go with a distributed multi-sub system, I guess you can try. (To avoid possible confusion I don’t use t... |
