Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Most speaker manufacturers inflate the bass numbers...

My Joseph Audio 'Pulsar' stand mounts talk a good line in the brochure about playing 42 Hz and in truth I can even hear 40 Hz if I play a test signal.

But 6dB down is a LOT and the 'Pulsars' are 6dB down at about 40 Hz.

My horns are even worse. Folded bass bins do play 60 Hz and I can hear it but it's 9dB down compared to a 500 Hz test tone.

But I can enjoy music without a sub in both of my systems so have yet to spring for one.

With the nearest neighbors nearly 1000 ft away, might spring for a sub one day.






First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
