Re: The bottom octave: how important?

Isn't it amazing what a little extra info down there does to the overall sound? It's like anything else, though. "A little heavy in the upper-mids", or, "a little lean in the high mids", etc. All kinds of little dips that can pejorate the overall sonic presentation.

I am reminded of trying to perform an in-depth comparison between a speaker flat down to around 40-45 Hz versus a speaker flat down to around 30 Hz. After all is said and done, I feel like I don't even want to try making comparisons like that anymore. Like comparing high sensitivity horns to low sensitivity planars or something. The overall presentation is so strongly impacted that I don't trust my ability to keep my apples as apples and my oranges as oranges! But maybe that's a bit harsh :-)
