Did they ever make measurements to back up what they *thought* they were hearing? It's very easy to confuse subsonic resonance with more powerful bass. In systems that encourage it (such as those with very low frequency coupling caps), such resonance is often excited by, and occurs simultaneously with, low frequency program material. Only test LPs and appropriate test gear can definitively separate the two.

"Still Working the Problem"
This is the funniest post, perhaps the most ironic, I have ever seen.
Living outside the USA, and at your age, you just never knew who Robert Fulton was, and his audio credentials.
No problem, they all knew what they were hearing. They were musicians T-K, with an audio lab that would astound you !!

The problem is, you're not qualified to translate the event. I don't believe anything you say.

Of flaming people, or, me in particular ?
You are evil, my man !!!

You know what's happening here, and you're *not* the victim. Stop spewing this arrogant nonsense disguised as expert advice. The problem will remedy itself.

Only in YOUR negative mind, and, as usual Mr. Cathode Follower, you are wrong about that.----------------------------------------------

The degree of negativity in my responses is commensurate with the degree of BS in your posts.

"Living outside the USA, and at your age, you just never knew who Robert Fulton was, and his audio credentials."
Could you enlighten us? I tried google, but only came up with THE Robert Fulton, 1765 - 1815, who is credited with designing the first commercially successful steamboat, among other things. I guess he is not the one you are referring to?

Chris,Alas, the web site dedicated to him is not yet up and running. When it is, I will post an announcement on the Forum.
Robert W. Fulton ( 1925-1988 ) was a trumpet maker, made trumpet mouthpieces, and a long time audio and recording engineer. He was the head recording engineer for a Minneapolis record company called Christian Dynamics.
In the late 1970s, Robert designed a two way bookshelf ( Fulton Musical Industries " FMI 80 " bookshelf ) that was very natural sounding, it honored the tone and timbre of live acoustical instruments.
He further developed a large speaker system called " The Fulton J -Modular " which used the FMI-80 as the mids, and a modified RTR electrostatic ( ESR-6 ) tweeter, and a two way woofer, with a slot-loaded floor firing 12 inch driver, alnico magnets.
This speaker, in its day, and Infinity's Servo Static 1A, were considered State of the Art by J.Gordon Holt, editor of Stereophile. Mr. Fulton was the earliest person I know of in consumer audio to make special speaker wire for audio. In the 1970s, most of the better audiophiles ran his wire.
He made wonderful choral records. He later developed more complex speakers, the J-Modular morphed into the Premiere speakers, a seven way design with linear wideband response from 12 HZ to 80 KHZ. He invented a turntable mat called the Fulton Kinetic barrier, to this day it is outstanding !!
The story goes on and on. Robert died in 1988, bone cancer, and the small company was liquidated. He was a fabulous person, good Christian, and he touched many people in audio in a positive way. Sadly missed by many to this day.
The web site will have a LOT of cool information. In the meantime, do a whole-AA Forum search under "Fulton", "FMI 80", "J-Modular" and Kinetic Barrier " and you will gain an insight.
