Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Your informants are mistaken…

David, there is a difference between “bottom frequencies” and fundamental frequency. Fundamental is a lower resonant frequency. I have seen a number of the “standard reference texts” that confused it.

For example you 13' x 17' listening room could easily “produce” music that contains 20 Hz. However, the room itself has it own lowest resonant frequency witch would be somewhere around 180 Hz… By the way there is law of acoustic, if you care, saying that a room can’t properly reproduce bass if the bass’ frequency is lower then the lowest resonant frequency of the room. I know, I know… I am with you on it….
