In Reply to: Why some of us prefer speakers with limited bass response… posted by millen on May 21, 2003 at 15:15:47:
In my opinion, most electronics do not do bass well (lack of linearity by far the most-common flaw), and if the mid bass down in the electronics is not right, a subwoofer or full-range speaker will just further-reveal the deficiency. Furthermore, very few power amps (tube or solid-state) handle tough bass loads well, where most amps handle moderate loads of smaller bass drivers just fine. I think this is why lot of people prefer minimonitors. They're simply a lot more compatible with the electronics mated to them.IMO, if the bass *is* done right in the electronics, and full range speakers in such a system are driven without strain, they should image and sound sweet just like minimonitors.
