| Frequency Response @rixthetrick - I am pondering speakers that go to 45Hz - I haven't heard them live yet but I like the design. My current speakers go to 35Hz - so its just a thought. As always in this hobby - you have opinions on both sides of the argument. I h... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... Ironically - all of you are arguing over his argument. I find this tiresome as well.
