After 30 years working in a computer room I have a notch in my hearing that takes out a lot of the spectrum so I am not the best judge. There are some very capable "PC Speaker" systems tho. I have a bunch of them around here that I have collected over the years. I am thinking about putting a sub woof back in my car. I took the one I had out when I switched from a PC based MP3 player to a dash mounted unit but the speakers in the car still are not good in the low frequencies, As long as you are playing "oldies" mixed to play best on the AM radio it is not an issue but newer music is mixed for sub woofers. That even seems to be true of the album version of old songs. I have a pretty good mix I put together to test sound system. "Video" by India Arie may be as good a sub woof test as anything. They come in about 30 seconds into the song with a base drum beat that overwhelms a stock car speaker system but will rattle the windows in the car next to you if you have a sub woof cranked up. OTOH a Motown recording with a strong base beat like "Papa was a rolling stone" still plays well on the stock car speakers and the sub woof does not change it all that much even in the remixed CD version. If you are playing early 60s stuff you quickly realize those sounds are simply not there. I think that Brill Building crap was mixed to play well on the phone. |

In the car or truck I'm usually listening to Bluegrass or news, so there's no need for bass. My hearing loss is at the high frequencies, so the less bass being produced the better if I'm trying to understand words. With classical, which is what I use the computer system for, I don't need to worry about words. I don't allow opera to be played on my system, unless it's the 'Grand March' from 'Aida'. That's OK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjNMT9oKVJQ |

That big hit a couple of years ago by 'Milky Chase' required a half decent base system to sound good. Quite a difference when the base kicked in. |
