Post Subject: LF extension is importantPosted by rowuk on: 10/22/2019
Hi Amir,we must be careful when talking about limits. We need much more than we think. This is because instruments interact. One instrument playing 440Hz (A) and another playing 465Hz (Bb) create a difference tone of 25Hz. Depending on the intensity and quality of the tone, the beats are very audible. This is also information that our brain does not substitute when playback is LF deficient. A lot of the concert hall room resonances are also LF, so our sense of space is directly affected. This is one of the reasons that a sharp lower knee is a bad thing for the ULF driver.
I have no reason to go to audio shows. The last one is certainly 20 years ago in Frankfurt near my home. I only went because a friend was exhibiting. I get to hear a fair amount of high price audio at colleagues homes. Some are interested in opinions, others only talk about their philosophy, then turn the volume up...Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
