In Reply to: Another great column by Sam Tellig posted by the old school on July 13, 2012 at 23:06:05:
Given the logarithmic nature of musical frequencies, every octave you go down from Middle C, you have to reproduce wavelengths that are twice as long. Once you go below 50 Hz, every last Hz down costs increasingly more money.
If you start out saying that your loudspeakers need to be -2 dB at 27.5 Hz, or flat at 20 Hz, then you are committing to very large and very expensive loudspeakers, and the design choices you make first very well may have repercussions on the midrange.
So, indeed, I have heard six-figure stereo systems that were less enjoyable to listen to than systems under $10,000, even though the smaller system could play nowhere as loud and deep.
So, "bite off less and chew more thoroughly" is often a good plan.
