Yes suspended plywood floors.   
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
Yes 20 hz and dynamic range which is why I tend to think larger drivers and speakers for that.   But how small can they be?     Zu has yet to bowl me over in demos in regards to having that low end dynamic "meat on the bones" as I like to say but ... 
Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?
okki nokki...not bad! 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
I really mean  the speaker does not roll off much or at at all at 20hz in a typical room.  How flat it is or not will largely depend on room acoustics from there right?  If it can only be done in a smaller room fine, just say so.  I'd expect one c...

Good stuff folks, keep it coming.noble I just want to know the small speakers capable of it in a typical room.I’m familiar with the swarm approach. That’s probably the most effective approach in the end if done right I’d say..30hz isn’t bad as lon...

Would give a listen given the chance but not excited about this.

I've heard Mani's and liked those very much.   I recall they had a unique bass driver design. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
I'm just interesting in what smaller speakers people have found are truly good down to 20hz and if so why. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
The ohm walshes do quite well in this area. I’ve heard response with test records down to 20 hz with 8 inch ohm Walsh drivers in the past. The smaller ones I have these days are 8 inch and the larger 12 inch. One individual on the ohm thread here ...

I always run the stylus through a stylus brush before playing.

IF you are using subs in particular, be leary of floor interactions as a primary culprit for muddy or obscured sound. Could occur with mains as well. Bass may seem muddy or fat and obscure details higher up in midrange. Suspended plywood floors ar...

IS it better with some kinds of music than others?Can you physically feel the music when called for as well as hear it? 
Will audio streaming devices push out computer audio?
Wireless streaming is the way to go for best chance at best sound with low noise and distortion. Wifi or Bluetooth. Source can be any commercial computer capable of running the software needed if connections to streamers are wireless because there...
