Visit real audio stores, listen to a dozen decent-to-excellent speakers, and
unless the listening room is phuqued up, you'll usually find you're OK with
the bass reproduction. It's the higher frequencies that'll have you
switching demo disks a million times, trying to decide whether you like the
one that reproduces female voice the best, or the one that best handles
flutes, high piano notes, guitar, mandolin.


Actually, you'd hit on a rather hot button issue for me.

I'm not big on faithfully reproducing bass level sound. Bass level
sound is just percussion really even if produced on a string. All the
subtle and nuance is in music is not produced at low frequencies but
rather at the mid to low high frequencies.

You and I agree that it is much easier to faithfully reproduce low
frequency sound - I just don't like it.

Suggest you catch this months Playboy Adviser. Supposedly the Clitoris
of a 150 pound female will respond to 33 cycles -- as the weight goes
up, so does the frequency.
