Post Subject: The "Perfect Piston" BS, and LF vs. ULFPosted by Paul S on: 9/26/2011

Until people actually start to listen to and correlate well-determined sound with pieces and parts, they are going to continue to spend money on BS "engineering" ideas rather than listening their way through Musical options. "Underhung" and "Perfect Piston" are great examples of ideas that actually do bring something useful to the table but, at the same time - as ever - they bring their own problems, as well. One thing that has to be well-determined ahead of time is whether we are talking about "LF" or "ULF". The difference is not small, IMO. We certainly ought to consider Tone at LF; but with ULF ALL bets are off, except that no matter what you start with you will PROBABLY wind up with something else. There are other GSC threads that address the ULF issues, but I think ULF may well be a case where money and "SOTA Technology" can actually be used to good advantage, if the speakers and the amps and the tune-able X/Os are considered at once. However, ULF and LF are not really so similar, at least not where Music is concerned. If anyone cares, the Accuton is wrong for "LF" because it cannot make Music.
Best regards,
