I've heard this logic before:
" The ear/brain system does not even detect the presence of bass energy from less than one wavelength. At low frequencies, the wavelengths are so long that they've encountered one or more room surfaces by the time we even begin to detect them (and it takes several wavelengths before we can hear the pitch, by which time the room is even more deeply involved). So in most home listening rooms, we literally cannot hear the low bass apart from the room."
How do headphones reproduce bass with such a small distance between driver and eardrum?
