| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Where are people getting this sub-harmonic talk. Yes, string instruments can produce sub-harmonic sounds, but it is not a commonly used technique and it's virtually never written into compositions. Harmonic overtones are always present in acoustic... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Martykl, not referring to you earlier. Someone else linked T. Rex foot falls and human hearing. BTW, I think your 1/21 post is very accurate. | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Why the obsession? Everything discussed in this forum is about obsession.I like deep, but not too deep bass. In fact I like to have a upward tilt in frequency response below 40Hz. It sounds good to me. But what I have discovered from looking at co... | |
| Korean Hanji Paper and Audio Uses A few Asian manufacturers use it to make speaker drivers. I've not heard any of the products. | |
| $20k top, full range speakers? Without knowing what amp he is using, how can anyone make a knowledgeable recommendation? Then there is the question of placing a $20k speaker in an untreated room. Why recommend wide dispersion speakers? Is it possible that a $10k speaker would p... | |
| Real Stinkers Ahab is Ahab and Miles is Miles. He was about New Directions and he was always Miles Ahead. Obviously, you just couldn't follow. | |
| Mosfet mist? It's actually quite easy to detect. You'll need a fluorescent lamp, a variac and a pair of wrap around 3-D glasses. Let your amp warm up for 1 hour while driven to output 1/3 its rated power. Place the lamp approximately 1 meter above and pointed ... | |

| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Genre! We don't need no stinkin' genres!That's why Miles Davis is in the rock hall of fame. So is Robert Johnson, Hank Williams & Mahalia Jackson. | |

If all reproduced sound is synthetic, then it really doesn't matter what instrument is used in the recording process as far as one instrument being more "real" than another. That's th... | |
| Gerry Rafferty dies How do you know you're not one of the other types of folks? | |
| Gerry Rafferty dies God doesn't damn anyone. Via their own choices some people choose to put themselves in their own hell. Even if they don't realize it or know how to do it they can leave at anytime. Someone who thinks they can determine who is helpless vs. who is h... | |
| Natural and Neutral could be boring .. I can't imagine that the your system in the room you describe sounds neutral or natural. There's no way the Thiels can produce adequate bass or lower midrange to properly pressurize that room. I suspect what you hear is way too much upper midrange... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" There's a special circle in Hell for people who ask that question. I can't imagine the amount of self-loathing and insecurity a person must have in order to ask that question. They must be petty pathetic people not living, but only existing if the... | |
