I just want to tell a short story about low frequencies. When i lived under a roof i had to use "brute force" to fill the room with bass because the over all room size was huge :) I used a 38cm double centered heavy weight subwoofer with a 1000VA transformator. I don´t know the real wattage at the output but it was able to massage the internals of my stomach pretty nicely. It still is up there because it was assembled there. I doubt i can balance it down the small stairs from there. Back to the listening. With this baby in action i had on several classical recordings the feeling a Bus or Track is driving by near. It must be that in several places the recent Operas are resident in the mid of towns where this very low acoustic noise due to passing big vehicles or even a tram can´t be completely filtered out for a recording. I remember one Satie cd i always had the feeling a bus-stop is in front of my house. With my recent system that ends ~40Hz i rarely have that feeling, even less with headphones. Does anyone have this same experience? -- Wombat Transporter (modded) -> RG142 -> Avantgarde Acoustic based 500VA monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93382
