| Recordings with BASS "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo"I can imagine the bass just from the name...... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? having read about BAM but not actually heard, I suspect BAM can make a significant difference in extending the low end with the Merlins.I say this because the OHM speakers I use take a similar approach. The difference is OHM uses an inexpensive pa... | |
