There seems to be a lot of so-called psycho acoustics at play regarding these things. For example, my Maggies are spec-ed at going down to 40 hz. However, when I play "Another Brick In The Wall" by Pink Floyd, I can hear, loud and clear, the low D on the detuned bass guitar. And the low D is vibrating at 36 hz. So what gives? A friend explained to me that I'm actually hearing the higher octave harmonic of that low D, and in my head I paint the picture and reconstruct the actual sound. So apparently the brain plays all kinds of trickery on us while we're listening... -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93382 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
